multidimensional analysis
Table 5.7 presents factor loadings of Factors 3 and 4 based on the multidimensional analysis of New Zealand English from Section 5.5. The dimension plots are also provided (Figures 5.31 and 5.32). Interpret each factor functionally as a dimension. Create labels for these dimensions.

a multidimensional examination
Factor loadings for Factors 3 and 4 are presented in Table 5.7, based on the multidimensional analysis of New Zealand English from Section 5.5. Dimension plots are also available (Figures 5.31 and 5.32). Each factor should be interpreted as a dimension in terms of its function. Make labels for these measurements.
