Five pitfalls in the analysis of diachronic corpus data -- 2.1 Corpus frequencies (semasiological frequencies) are not always equivalent to frequencies of entities and events in the real world (onomasiological frequencies) 2.2 Corpus frequencies of polysemous words need to be broken down into sense-specific and construction-specific frequencies -- 2.3 Correlations in large datasets may be spurious -- 2.4 Comparisons of frequency trends in diachronic corpora require adequate statistical treatment -- 2.5 It is not always easy to disentangle social change and linguistic change -- 3.

The theme of the volume reflects the fact that changes in society lead to changes in language and vice versa. Focusing on the English language, be it from Old English to the present, or a shorter time span in the immediate past, the contributors in this volume use a variety of corpus methods to address the two patterns of change. The cross-fertilization of cultural studies and corpus linguistics, we hope, is beneficial for both parties, as corpus linguistics offers a vast array of materials and methods to investigate cultural and societal change, while cultural studies provide the theoretical background on which to build our research. The studies included in the present volume illustrate the potential avenues and the merits of combining changing language and changing societies". 001403080 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 001403080 650_0 $$aEnglish language$$xGrammar$$xData processing$$vCongresses. 001403080 650_0 $$aEnglish language$$xResearch$$xData processing$$vCongresses. 001403080 650_0 $$aEnglish language$$xDiscourse analysis$$xData processing$$vCongresses. 001403080 650_0 $$aEnglish language$$xVariation$$xHistory$$vCongresses. 001403080 650_0 $$aEnglish language$$xSocial aspects$$vCongresses. 001403080 650_0 $$aComputational linguistics$$vCongresses. 001403080 655_0 $$aElectronic books 001403080 7001_ $$aRautionaho, Paula,$$eeditor. 001403080 7001_ $$aNurmi, Arja,$$eeditor. 001403080 830_0 $$aStudies in corpus linguistics ;$$v96. 001403080 852__ $$bebk 001403080 85640 $$3ProQuest Ebook Central Academic Complete $$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/usiricelib-ebooks/detail.action?docID=6142362$$zOnline Access 001403080 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1403080$$pGLOBAL_SET 001403080 980__ $$aBIB 001403080 980__ $$aEBOOK 001403080 982__ $$aEbook 001403080 983__ $$aOnline
