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.

The objective of this paper is to verify if Google Books Ngram Viewer, a new tool working on a database of 361 billion words in English, and enabling quick recovery of data on word frequency in a diachronic perspective, is indeed valuable to socio-cultural research as suggested by its creators (Michel et al. 2010), i.e. the Cultural Observatory, Harvard University, Encyclopaedia Britannica, the American Heritage Dictionary, and Google. In the paper we introduce a study performed by Greenfield (2013), who applies the program to her Ecological Analysis, and contrast the findings with a study based on similar premises, in which we follow the trends in changes in word frequency throughout the 19th and 20th centuries to observe if these changes correspond to one of the major socio-cultural transformations that took place in the studied period, i.e. mediatization. The results of this study open a discussion on the usefulness of the program in socio-cultural research.
