Summary/Abstract: In the paper the dynamics of changes in inflection and ortography is discussed. The time span is limited to the period 1830–1918. The data come from the tiny (1M tokens) corpus compiled as part of the National Research Centre funded grant „Automatic analysis of Polish texts from the period 1830–1918 with regard to the inflection and spelling” (DEC-2012/07/B/HS2/00570). Language processes suitable for verification were selected from Bajerowa’s lists. The results were reviewed with Bajerowa’s findings and then elaborated with more detailed statistical data.
