Visual map of English
Click on the picture to go to a visualisation of all the nouns in the English language arranged by semantic meaning. Each of the tiles in the mosaic is an arithmetic average of images relating to one of 53,463 nouns. The images for each word were obtained using Google’s Image Search and other engines. A total of 7,527,697 images were used, each tile being the average of 140 images. The average reveals the dominant visual characteristics of each word. For some, the average turns out to be a recognisable image; for others the average is a coloured blob. The list of nouns was obtained from Wordnet, a database compiled by lexicographers which records the semantic relationship between words.
