Generating Static Motion Charts

This is a blog post in RPubs (Rajeg & Rajeg 2018a) that shares the R programming codes to generate the static version of the motion charts in my 2014 paper (Primahadi Wijaya R. & Rajeg 2014); R codes and dataset are also published open-access (Rajeg & Rajeg 2018b).

Motion charts can be used to visualise language change based on the diachronic language database (e.g. Corpus of Historical American English [COHA]) (see Hilpert 2011). My other posts on motion charts can be seen here and here.
