I corpora diacronici della lingua russa: caratteristiche, modalità di funzionamento e possibilità di impiego

Abstract

Although still at an early stage of development, diachronic corpora of the Russian language are at the centre of the attention of the scientific community and seem destined to play an increasingly important role in the panorama of contemporary Slavistics. In the light of these considerations, the present article examines a selection of eight of these resources, describing in detail their design criteria, modes of operation and possible uses, with the aim of providing an overview that highlights their potentialities and shortcomings.
