Analysis of Temporal Changes in Corpora
- Source: International Journal of Corpus Linguistics, Volume 1, Issue 1, Jan 1996, p. 61 - 73
Abstract
This paper describes an experiment in statistical analysis of corpora with respect to the temporal changes in language use. The technique approximates the notion of temporal relevance of usage evolution by analysing and evaluating the frequency distribution of a set of indicators over time and by isolating string configurations with unlikely temporal distribution.
