A graphical, rich, and interactive mechanism for exploring the forms and usage of a particular word. A word, identified as a lemma, can be displayed with its lexemes which cover multiple usages and tenses of the word. For each lexeme, collocates and synonyms are displayed, in a format that indicates which collocates and synonyms are used with the word most frequently. A word map contains the lemma, lexeme, synonyms, and collocates information for the word, and provides an interactive aspect by providing additional information when particular elements are icons of the word map are selected by the user.
