Changing society -- The great temptation: What diachronic corpora do and do not reveal about social change -- 1. Introduction -- 2. 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.
