In this paper we present a novel approach for cultural investigation that focuses on the statistical analysis of texts. We use Latent Semantic Analysis to generate a semantic space representing one or more cultures based on a corpus of texts. By comparing the vector representation of texts within this corpus it is possible to gain insights into cultural change. We demonstrate this method by exploring the divergence of British and American societies following the Revolutionary War. Possible uses of this method for exploratory and experimental research are discussed.}, author = {Eyal Sagi and Stefan Kaufmann and Brady Clark}, editor = {Niels Taatgen and Hedderik van Rijn and Lambert Schomaker and John Nerbonne} } @conference {20, title = {Semantic Density Analysis: Comparing Word Meaning across Time and Phonetic Space}, booktitle = {Proceedings of the EACL 2009 Workshop on GEMS: Geometrical Models of Natural Language Semantics}, year = {2009}, pages = {104-111}, address = {Athens, Greece}, abstract = {This paper presents a new statistical method for detecting and tracking changes in word meaning, based on Latent Semantic Analysis.

Possible applications of this method are then illustrated in tracing the semantic change of "dog","do", and "deer" in early English and examining and comparing phonaesthemes.}, author = {Eyal Sagi and Stefan Kaufmann and Brady Clark}, editor = {Roberto Basili and Marco Pennacchiotti} } @article {41, title = {Tracing semantic change with Latent Semantic Analysis}, year = {2009}, address = {Northwestern Institute on Complex Systems (NICO) weekly seminar series, Evanston, IL}, author = {Eyal Sagi and Stefan Kaufmann and Brady Clark} } @article {24, title = {Tracing semantic change with Latent Semantic Analysis}, year = {2009}, type = {Talk}, address = {San Francisco, CA}, author = {Eyal Sagi and Stefan Kaufmann and Brady Clark} } @article {26, title = {Tracing semantic change with Latent Semantic Analysis}, year = {2008}, type = {Talk}, address = {Munich, Germany}, author = {Eyal Sagi and Stefan Kaufmann and Brady Clark} } @article {30, title = {The Effect of the Speaker{\textquoteright}s Motivation on the Interpretation of Logical Connectives}, year = {2007}, type = {Poster}, address = {Nashville, TN}, author = {James German and Eyal Sagi and Stefan Kaufmann and Brady Clark and Min-Joo Kim} } @article {16, title = {The role of hearer{\textquoteright}s beliefs in the interpretation of logical connectives}, year = {2006}, type = {Talk}, address = {Berlin, Germany}, author = {James German and Eyal Sagi and Brady Clark and Min-Joo Kim and Stefan Kaufmann} }
