Measures

Jiwar calculates various neighborhood measures for words. These measures are categorized into three main types:

• Orthographic Measures
  • Orthographic N (orth_N)
  • Orthographic Density (orth_density)
  • OLD20
  • Orthographic Network
  • Orthographic Neighbor Frequency
• Phonological Measures
  • Phonological N (phon_N)
  • Phonological Density (phon_density)
  • PLD20
  • Phonological Network
  • Phonological Neighbor Frequency
• Phonographic Measures
  • Phonographic N (pg_N)
  • Phonographic Density (pg_density)
  • PGLD20
  • Phonographic Network
  • Phonographic Neighbor Frequency

Overview of Measures

Here’s a quick overview of the measures calculated by Jiwar:

Measure Type	Measures	Description
Orthographic	N, Density, OLD20, Clustering coefficient C, 2-hop density, Neighbor Frequency	Based on the written form of words.
Phonological	N, Density, PLD20, Clustering coefficient C, 2-hop density, Neighbor Frequency	Based on the IPA transcription of words.
Phonographic	N, Density, PGLD20, Clustering coefficient C, 2-hop density, Neighbor Frequency	Based on both the written form and the IPA transcription form of words.
