To create this dataset, we sifted through 7 of Shakespeare’s plays and placed a directed edge between two words whenever one followed the other within a sentence.  This dataset was analyzed with the Poisson multigraph model looking for ordered pairs of which occurred together a significant number of times.  In the view below, every edge is significant but the red edges are the most significant.  One thing I like about this result is that you can make full sentences just by following the arrows.  For a full view of the network in pdf format click here.

In addition to words, we created another dataset by placing a directed edge between two letters each time one followed the other within a word.  Again, red edges are the most significant.
