A Semantic and Frequency Analysis of Collocations of the Nouns Man and Woman with the Adjectives Real, Typical, Ideal, Average, and One-Hundred-Percent (Based on the National Language Corpus)

Summary/Abstract: The scholarly literature devotes considerable attention to the analysis of the image of men and women. Stereotypesrelated to masculinity and femininity are a subject of exploration across numerous disciplines – anthropology, sociology,psychology, and, importantly, linguistics. Socio-cultural transformations have long influenced research directions,prompting scholars to adopt more up-to-date perspectives on gender in language. One particularly interesting approachis to examine the issue through the lens of linguistic patterns used to speak about women and men, dependingon the word combinations in which the relevant nouns appear. The aim of this article is to conduct a semantic andfrequency analysis of the collocations of the nouns man and woman with the adjectives real, typical, ideal, average,and one-hundred-percent. The data were sourced from three corpora: the National Corpus of Polish (NKJP), the Monco PLmonitoring corpus, and the Contemporary Polish Language Corpus (KWJP). The semantic analysis involved organizingdictionary definitions of the adjectives real, typical, ideal, average, and one-hundred-percent, and describing the semanticrelationships among them. This was followed by a presentation of frequency data concerning the occurrenceof the analyzed collocations. The research perspective includes an analysis of all language contexts, identifying themost frequent collocations, a description of linguistic ways of speaking about women and men, and reconstructing thelinguistic image of women and men. The findings of this study can contribute valuable insights to cultural and corpuslinguistics, as well as to gender studies in language.
