Earlier, we obtained frequencies for a few words in Romeo and Juliet. Sometimes frequency visualizations enhance your corpus analyses. There’s often more than one way to visualize data, and sometimes one is superior to others. For example, you might be interested in word frequencies relative to one another, or you may just be interested in relative uses of words in a corpus.
