Abstracts

The article gives account of current developments in the field of corpus linguistics in Poland in short comparison with contemporary research conducted in the following field both in Britain and USA. Combining pragmalinguistic analysis of narrative text with frequency dictionaries and IT technologies, the author presents the original model of semiotic and market research. The aim of technology presented is to retrace communication habits and derive stereotypes in order to reconstruct the linguistic view of the world. According to most recent needs for inclusion of social-cultural context into the linguistic research, the emphasis is placed on the discursive view of the world and further reconstruction of the discursive views of words, brands and products. Communication behaviour displayed both in electronic and traditional forms is traced down to support semiotic and market analysis, enabling comparative research between and among users of different natural languages. The paper introduces and explains a newly coined term freqsem, referred to as a basic unit in technology of linguistic frequency analysis.
