Advanced Data Visualizations

From acoustic phonetics to 3D syntax trees — explore every level of linguistic structure with our interactive analysis suite.

Phonetic Analysis

IPA & Palatography

Transcribe any word into IPA notation and visualize tongue-palate contact through interactive palatography diagrams. See acoustic waveforms for different phoneme classes.

  • IPA Transcription
  • Palatography Diagrams
  • Acoustic Waveform
  • Place of Articulation

Morphological Analysis

Morpheme Segmentation

Decompose words into their constituent morphemes. Identify prefixes, roots, and suffixes with color-coded visualization. Explore word families and morpheme categories.

  • Morpheme Segmentation
  • Free vs. Bound Morphemes
  • Word Family Trees
  • Lexical/Grammatical Classes

Syntactic Tree

3D Constituency Parsing

Parse sentences into their constituent structure with interactive 2D SVG and immersive 3D React Three Fiber diagrams. Rotate, zoom, and explore phrase structure trees.

  • 2D SVG Tree Diagram
  • 3D Interactive Tree
  • Phrase Structure Rules
  • Constituent Labeling
