Eesti keele kasutusvariandid: korpustest tulenev käändevormide võrdlev analüüs
Corpus-driven comparative analysis of variants of Estonian

Summary/Abstract: The objective of the study was to compare the use of case forms in two variants of Estonian – standard language and learner language. The material was taken from the Standard Estonian corpus of the Institute of the Estonian Language and the Estonian interlanguage corpus of Tallinn University. The frequency of the inflectional forms of the four most common nouns in Estonian (inimene ‘person’, sõna ‘word’, elu ‘life’ ja aeg ‘time’) is found out and their morphological paradigms and synchronicity are described. The statistics showed to what extent semantics tells on the formation and frequency of grammatical forms.
