Through the Looking Glass: Two Approaches to Visualizing Linguistic Syntax Trees

Linguists have domain specific diagrams for syntactic structures, as well as expectations about the "look and feel" of the diagrams. However, these diagrams have received relatively little attention in the information visualization field. In this paper we present two approaches to applying InfoVis techniques to these diagrams to make them interactive and effective in a computer-driven research environment. Results from each approach will influence the further development of the other.
