THE INFLUENCE OF QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE FEATURES ON STATISTICAL INDICATOR OF MATERIALITY/IMMATERIALITY OF DISCREPANCIES IN THE NUMBER OF VERBS IN FREQUENCY DICTIONARIES OF DIFFERENT TYPES

Abstract

The article deals with one of the phenomena of statistical lexicography – the materiality/immateriality indication of discrepancy in the numbers of frequency dictionary units in the course of their (dictionaries) comparing. In the presented research a verb is considered. To describe it seven frequency dictionaries dissimilar both in quantitative (different sizes of text corpora they are based on, different threshold frequencies, etc.) and qualitative (various fields of technical and humanitarian discourses, different contents – only terms or all units occurred in a text corpus, etc.) characteristics have been used. The extracted verb frequency lists are compared at several threshold frequencies (from 1 to 22). Matching of various parameters both statistical and linguistic allows to obtain the data, which enable us to come to the following conclusions: in statistical analysis if it concerns one of the products of social activity of a man (in the given case it is the language) the statistical results are completely influenced by social conditions, i.e. the qualitative (humanitarian) characteristics.
