Language Corpora and Historical Semantics: Format

Abstract

The article addresses historical semantics and the possibilities offered by its methodology, as well as the inclusion of digital data and tools. The utilization of dictionaries (SPXVI, Swil, SL, SW, SJPD, USJP, WSJP PAN), language corpora (Odkrywka, Chronopress, SpokesPL, MoncoPL, Narodowy Korpus Języka Polskiego/National Corpus of Polish, Korpus Dyskursu Parlamentarnego/ Corpus of Parliamentary Discourse), concordances and statistics made it possible to present the emergence of a new meaning of the lexeme format and its textual synonyms, and the chronology of the changes. It is shown that corpus data predate lexicography, hence the possibility of using such data to track neosemantisms in statu nascendi, and thus presenting the dynamics of semantic changes.

Keywords:
