First, a few notes on the infographic. As with the past two Conference By the Numbers (October 2016 and April 2016), the main graphic focuses on emphasized words from conference talks. The horizontal axis indicates how many times a word was mentioned during the conference, in the text of the talk or in the footnotes. The vertical axis shows how the frequency of usage compared to an average conference. For example, an average conference would use the word "felt" about 25 times. This conference, the word was used 100% more, or about 50 times.
After looking at some of the emphasized words, I noticed that several words seemed to go in pairs, such as "Holy Ghost" or "Heavenly Father." I did a separate search to see how often these word combinations. In the box above the graph, you can see how many times the exact phrases "Doctrine and Covenants," "Holy Ghost," and "Heavenly Father" are used.
After looking over the emphasized words, I notice a theme of referring to the Godhead (Heavenly Father, Savior, Holy Ghost, see Elder Oaks' talk), the plan of salvation (President Eyring, Elder Oaks), and feeling or hearing the voice of the Holy Ghost (see Elder Stevenson, Elder Rasband).
For top scriptures, Moses 1:39 is not a surprise--it consistently comes in at the top at general conference (see this post). John 3:16 is also not a big surprise, given its wide popularity in Christendom. While not an obscure scripture, 2 Ne 28:30 usually doesn't come out in the top 10 list of cited scriptures. However, it is an appropriate reference for this conference given the emphasis on the Holy Ghost.
Of course, this is only a sampling of some of the topics that were emphasized in conference. What stood out to you from conference?
