The aim of this interdisciplinary workshop is to present the exciting new field of visual analysis to a broad audience of linguists in Germany in order to give an opportunity for fruitful
discussions on how linguists and visual analysts can join forces. Workshops at other international conferences (e.g. EACL) show that visualization is currently a much-debated topic in computational as well as theoretical linguistic research and we want to pave the way for more collaboration in this field. The interest lies in innovative visualization techniques as well as new areas of application or phenomena where visual analyses can be useful to either generate or conrm hypotheses on the basis of the data.
