Abstract
The article is devoted to issues concerning use of textual data of the historical corpus Manuscript (www.manuscripts.ru), containing transcriptions of medieval Slavic manuscripts of the 10th–15th centuries, in historical and linguistic studies. The capabilities of the corpus manager modules for extracting and visualizing linguistic units and their primary analysis are demonstrated. Special attention is paid to obtaining quantitative and statistical information about the distribution and compatibility of words. The main part of the article is devoted to a new module of the corpus – a distributive dictionary designed to automatically identify words that are semantically similar in their semantics. The word2vec method became the basis of the dictionary procedures. The parameters of the search settings (selection of subcorpus, type of unit of analysis, quantitative or statistical evaluation of joint occurrence, etc.) and visualization of the result (number of analogues, magnitude of cosine distance, list, graph) allow us to solve various problems related to the study of lexical semantics in medieval Slavic texts. Quantitative and statistical characteristics of the words bran’ and rat’ are used as illustrative material.
