The edge-repulsion LinLog drawing of Roget’s thesaurus provides a nice map of (parts of) the English language, because semantically related categories are grouped together (see the VRML). This is exemplified by the two zoomed areas.
The node-repulsion LinLog model and the Fruchterman-Reingold model mainly cluster together categories with many references in the center of the drawing.
