Activity 2.2.2 (Text mining and analysis): Use Google’s NGram Viewer to infer something about the Philippines in international literature

1. Read [**Culturomics: Guide to using The Google Ngram Viewer**](https://upou.notion.site/Culturomics-Guide-to-using-The-Google-Ngram-Viewer-5931b7b6ea7148468cb7998529dbaf3b) for text mining and analysis
2. Open Google Books ngram viewer on https://books.google.com/ngrams
3. Search for the number of mentions of “Philippines” in books in the English (2019) corpus.
   1. Notice the shape of the graph and in particular when it peaks. Why do you think it peaks when it does? What can you infer from this?
4. Perform the same search but using different corpora. (Corpora is the plural of corpus.) What differences in the shape of the graphs do you see? Why do you think you are seeing different shapes?
5. Experiment with a few other search terms and corpora. Share any interesting findings you make with the class.
