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". 410 0$aStudies in corpus linguistics ;$v96. 606 $aEnglish language$xGrammar$xData processing$vCongresses 606 $aEnglish language$xResearch$xData processing$vCongresses 606 $aEnglish language$xDiscourse analysis$xData processing$vCongresses 606 $aEnglish language$xVariation$xHistory$vCongresses 606 $aEnglish language$xSocial aspects$vCongresses 606 $aComputational linguistics$vCongresses 615 0$aEnglish language$xGrammar$xData processing 615 0$aEnglish language$xResearch$xData processing 615 0$aEnglish language$xDiscourse analysis$xData processing 615 0$aEnglish language$xVariation$xHistory 615 0$aEnglish language$xSocial aspects 615 0$aComputational linguistics 676 $a420.9 702 $aRautionaho$b Paula 702 $aNurmi$b Arja 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910794181303321 996 $aCorpora and the changing society$91762368 997 $aUNINA
