From Data Points to Polygons: An Innovative Approach to Geolinguistic Mapping

This paper introduces a software tool that implements an innovative type of geolinguistic map, originally proposed by Hideo Suzuki in the 1980s. The software, developed using the R language, automates the map creation process based on word forms and geographic coordinates. Unlike traditional maps, this new type not only displays the locations of word occurrences
