Transfer of terms and research procedures between synchronic and diachronic linguistics

Summary/Abstract: In this methodology-related paper, the author identifies a clear (in his opinion) tendency to transfer terms between synchronic and diachronic linguistics. Language historians who study syntax, lexis, semantics as well as text and the evolution of literary genres are now searching for precise research tools. The article demonstrates that even if it is not possible to use synchronic tools in diachronic research, such attempts bring measurable benefits to science such as, for example, proposing new terms, clarifying the existing ones, or reflecting on one’s own research situation.
