In Visual Hasluck, we analyze patters of words that tend to appear in proximity to each other in “Christianity and Islam” to reveal links, patterns or relations between terms and semantic domains. For example, a collocation pattern showing that ‘orthodox’ tends to appear next to ‘George’ is seen as an indication of the widely common veneration of St. George among Christian Orthodox communities.
