Abstract
One of the challenges of corpus querying is making sense of the results of a query, especially when a large number of results and
linguistically annotated data are concerned. While the most widespread tools for querying syntactically annotated corpora tend to
focus on single occurrences, one aspect that is not fully exploited yet in this area is that language is a complex system whose units
are connected to each other at both microscopic (the single occurrences) and macroscopic level (the whole system itself). Assuming
that language is a system, we describe a tool (using the DoubleTreeJS visualization) to visualize the results of querying dependency
treebanks by forming a node from a single item type, and building a network in which the heads and the dependents of the central
node are respectively the left and the right vertices of the tree, which are connected to the central node by dependency relations. One
case study is presented, consisting in the exploitation of DoubleTreeJS for supporting one assumption in theoretical linguistics with
evidence provided by the data of a dependency treebank of Medieval Latin.
