The story of the data analysis is nicely told, and there are some unusual methods in use. McDonald has linked a multiway contingency table to a scatterplot of latitude and longitude so that various regional vowel pronunciations in Britain can be explored. He rearranges the rows and columns in a two-way table both automatically and interactively, and describes the method as an analog of rotation.
