The Sentence Is Not the Words

Written language arrives one word after another. Grammar does not. Choose a Shakespeare scope, then follow one canonical sentence through all nine structures while corpus-level paths and phrases remain grounded in the same filtered rows.

The active Shakespeare intersection

Choose the canonical sentence all nine views will share.

The subject and work filters define this list. Word paths and phrase relationships use every row; the other views follow the one canonical row you choose here.

Signature interaction

Rewrite one word. Audit the consequences.

Select a word, choose a replacement, and the new wording becomes a variant route. Stable IDs keep everything else in place so the diagram can say what changed and what did not.

Love is a familiar; love is a devil.

Select a word in the token ribbon to reveal corpus-aligned rewrite choices.

“Love is a familiar; love is a devil.”
