Finding out whether a word occurs significantly more often in one text or corpus than another is an important question analysing corpora. As noted by Kilgarriff (Language never, ever, random, Corpus Linguistics and Linguistic Theory , 2005; 1(2): 263–76.), the use of χ 2 log-likelihood ratio tests problematic this context, as they are based on assumption that all samples statistically independent each other. However, words within not independent. pointed (Comparing corpora, International...
The first aim of this work is to examine gender-based variation in the productivity nominal suffixes - ness and ity present-day British English. Possible interpretations are presented for findings that used less productively by women, while with there no gender difference. second analyse validity hapax-based measures sociolinguistic research. It discovered they require a significantly larger corpus than type-based ones, category-conditioned degree P unusable when comparing subcorpora based...
Abstract This paper tracks stylistic variation in the use of two roughly synonymous suffixes, Romance - ity and native ness , during Early Modern English period. We seek to verify from a statistical viewpoint claims Rodríguez-Puente (2020) who reports on decrease favour registers representative speech-written formal-informal continua at that time. To this end, we develop new methods visual analysis enable diachronic comparisons competing processes across subcorpora, building upon an earlier...

Research in the digital humanities and computational social sciences requires overcoming complexity research data, methodology, questions. In this article, we show through case studies of three different science projects, that these problems are prevalent, multiform, as well laborious to counter. Yet, without facilities for acknowledging, detecting, handling correcting such bias, any results based on material will be faulty. Therefore, argue need a wider recognition acknowledgement...
This paper reviews the gap between current methods of text visualization and needs corpus-linguistic research, introduces a tool that takes step towards bridging gap. Current tend to treat problem as data-encoding issue only, do not strive for interactive, tightly coupled representations would foster discovery. The argues such visualizations should always be linked effortless movement its visualization, controls provide continuous immediate feedback facilitate exploration. We introduce tool,...

Abstract We introduce the Language Change Database (LCD), which provides access to results of previous corpus-based research dealing with change in English language. The LCD will be published on an open-access linked data platform that allow users enter information about their own publications into database and conduct searches based linguistic extralinguistic parameters. Both metadata numerical from original available for download, enabling systematic reviews, meta-analyses, replication...
Endeavors to computationally model language variation and change are ever increasing. While analyses of recent diachronic trends frequently conducted, long-term accounting for sociolinguistic less well-studied. Our work sheds light on the temporal dynamics use British 18th century women as a group in transition across two situational contexts. findings reveal that formal contexts adapt register conventions, while informal they act innovators influencing others. adopted from other...

Abstract This paper describes ongoing work towards a rich analysis of the social contexts neologism use in historical corpora, particular Corpora Early English Correspondence , with research questions concerning innovators, meanings and diffusion neologisms. To enable this kind study, we are developing new processes, tools ways combining data from different sources, including Oxford Dictionary Historical Thesaurus contemporary published texts. Comparing candidates across these sources is...
