Artykuł dotyczy różnic ilościowych w imiennictwie poszczególnych regionów Polski w latach 1951–2010. Celem było sprawdzenie, czy dane ilościowe dla regionów są zróżnicowane, czy układają się w zwarte obszary geograficzne oraz czy zróżnicowanie międzyregionalne ulegało zmianom w badanym okresie. Do oceny tych różnic użyte zostały wybrane wskaźniki bogactwa leksykalnego stosowane w pracach z zakresu statystyki leksykalnej. Impulsem do podjęcia tego zagadnienia były zaobserwowane wcześniej wyraźne różnice w dystrybucji przestrzennej imion ze względu na ich cechy jakościowe. Badanie wykazało, że także w świetle danych ilościowych występuje czasowe i geograficzne zróżnicowanie w nadawaniu imion w Polsce.

The article examines the quantitative differentiation in naming in the various Polish regions during the period of 1951–1960. The aim was to check whether the quantitative data for names are regionally differentiated, and has the interregional differences changed during the period considered. Selected measures of lexical richness (originally applied in the field of lexical statistics) were used to evaluate these differences. The direct reason for considering this case were the previously observed clear spatial patterns of first names with regard to its qualitative features. Present study has shown that also in the case of quantitative data there are some temporal and spatial differentiation in naming practices in Poland.

The aim of this study is to compare the speeches of two important Czechoslovak politicians – Edvard Beneš and Klement Gottwald. Thematic words (TW) and keywords (KW) of their speeches broadcasted on radio during World War II (1939–1945) are analysed. Although these methods are related, each of them provides different perspectives on the issue. Thematic words are based on the frequency distribution of the analysed text itself, whereas keywords are generated through the comparison of two corpora (namely Beneš versus Gottwald). Since Czech is a highly inflective language, all texts are lemmatized. Beneš led the Czechoslovak government-in-exile in London from 1939 to 1945. Gottwald, as the leader of the Communist Party, emigrated to Moscow in 1938. The results show that their differing political orientations, enhanced by their time in exile, influenced the language of their speeches. Beneš emphasized democratic principles, while Gottwald promoted communist revolutionary ideas. Gottwald’s speeches were also considerably more offensive and direct. The results also show that both politicians emphasized the importance of the Soviet Union in World War II, whereas only Beneš mentioned the United Kingdom.

This paper deals with morphological productivity in diachrony, in particular it addresses the issue of the quantitative evaluation of productivity within a given time span. Adopting Baayen’s (1992; 2001; 2008) corpus-based quantitative approach which considers productivity as the probability of encountering a new type when sampling a large corpus, the paper shows the evolution of two competing suffixes -mento/-zione in Old Italian from the 13th to the 16th Centuries. On the basis of four separate corpora drawn from LIZ 4.0 (Letteratura Italiana Zanichelli), it is demonstrated how the productivity of the suffix -mento, within the time span of four centuries, remains constant, while the suffix -zione displays diachronic variability. Apart from diachronic considerations regarding this situation, the paper also highlights some technical aspects, such as the use of LNRE models (implemented in the package zipfR, a tool for lexical statistics in R, cf. Baroni — Evert, 2006; Evert — Baroni, 2007; Baayen, 2008), as well as some well-known limitations and constraints inherent in quantitative analyses of diachronic corpora.
