Adjective-Noun Co-occurrence Network
A David Copperfield novel (word adjacency network) dataset of 112 nodes and 425 edges, collected by M.E.J. Newman. Each record contains directed: False, weighted: False, signed: False. Word adjacency network of adjectives and nouns in David Copperfield — classic linguistic network benchmark.. Suitable for linguistic network analysis, community detection benchmark.
