In the 1970s in the Soviet Union (by the standard: GOST 16448-70 Bibliografiâ. Terminy i opredeleniâ, Moskva 1971) the top-down term ‘библиографоведение’ was introduced to denote a scientific discipline that is part of the complex of bibliological disciplines, researching and developing issues of the theory, history and methodology of bibliographies as well as methodology, technology and organization of bibliographic activity. After the term became popular in the Soviet Union, there were suggestions in several sources in the years 1974–1999 that its equivalents also began to function in other languages – Polish, English, German, French. The analysis of data from Google Books Ngram Viewer, carried out for the other article (see: Jakub Maciej Łubocki, O problemie wieloznaczności terminu ‘bibliografia’ kolejny raz – o terminie ‘bibliografoznawstwo’ po raz pierwszy, „Roczniki Biblioteczne”, 2018 (R. 62), s. 135–178; doi.org/10.19195/0080-3626.62.9), allowed for a proper (mainly negative) assessment of these suggestions. This article highlights the advantages and disadvantages of conducting an analysis with the use of this tool. It also allows us to shed light on the problem of – sometimes too careless – equivalence of terms (and thus improper equivalence) and the possibility of its verification in the absence of data in the available dictionaries.
