Computation and Language 2024-03-26 v1

Abstract

Typological databases in linguistics are usually categorical-valued. As a result, it is difficult to have a clear visualization of the data. In this paper, we describe a workflow to analyze the topological shapes of South American languages by applying multiple correspondence analysis technique and topological data analysis methods.
