CZY RZECZOWNIK RYZYKO NALEŻY WCIĄŻ DO SINGULARIA TANTUM?
Does the Noun ryzyko (Risk) Still Belong to singularia tantum?

Summary/Abstract: The paper aims to provide an answer to the question whether the plural forms of the noun ryzyko - traditionally classified into the category of singularia tantum - present in the texts, reflect common or incidental use. The analysis was based on two largest corpora of the Polish language: the PWN Corpus of Polish and the IPI PAN Corpus of Polish. Although conclusions drawn from it are unequivocal, the corpus material shows a clear linguistic tendency. It thus seems that information on the atypical use of the word ryzyko should be included in contemporary Polish dictionaries.
