Inducing linguistic networks from historical corpora. Towards a new method in historical semantics

  • In this paper, we experiment with exploring linguistic networks as a new method in historical semantics. Our starting point is a long-term historical corpus (i.e., the Patrologia Patina) which we analyse regarding the conceptual stability of a key concept in medieval literature (i.e., virtus). Most analyses in historical semantics explore small data sets by focusing on narrow contexts of lexical usages, but we propose a more comprehensive method based on lexical networks that represent the underlying documents as a whole. We demonstrate both the topological stability of document-based lexical networks and their usefulness in providing empirical evidence in historical semantics.
