Abstract
The present article will introduce the Pareidoscope, a new web-based research tool for exploring the lexis-grammar interface. Its user interface allows the user to explore the interactions between word forms and syntactic structures in an interactive, network-like fashion. Sample analyses will highlight some of the abilities of the Pareidoscope to find associations between structures (which can be partially filled with word forms) and word forms or between the different word forms in a structure.1
