I have compiled a database of all the references to ‘noise’ and ‘silence’ in the PHI Latin library. This work was part of my PhD and can be downloaded here. The spreadsheet gives the total count, author, word, starting date, ending date, and style of writing (either prose or poetry). There are 5,099 references in total and I did not breakdown the references beyond the auther (so, not listing of individual references within each text). I also produced a number of graphs and charts to visualise the data set, which are posted below.
Fig. 1 Total count of references to each term from appendix 3 database. (Jeff D. Veitch)
Fig. 2 Start dates for appendix 3 based on total count of terms. (Jeff D. Veitch)
Fig. 3 Ending dates for appendix 3 based on total count of terms. (Jeff D. Veitch)
Fig. 4 Total references to ‘noise’ and ‘silence’ terms based on writing style. (Jeff D. Veitch)
Fig. 5 Graph of writing style and ‘noise/silence’ terms. Lines are weighted by total counts (same as Fig. 1 above). (Jeff D. Veitch)
I have also merged the PHI databse of noise/silence terms with another databse of references to street_terms. The resulting visualisations are from the merging of the two databases.
Fig. 6 Noise/silence terms ranked by total references to street terms. (Jeff D. Veitch)
Fig. 7 Street terms ranked by total references to noise/silence terms. (Jeff D. Veitch)
The spreadsheet of the noise/silence database is available through this link: Noise/Silence database.
And the street term database is available through this link: street_terms.
