What are ‘Bookish’ Words? About the Need to Specify Dictionary Labels on the Example of książk.-Words in the “Polish Language Dictionary” by Mieczysław Szymczak

Summary/Abstract: The article aims to explain the importance of qualitative methods in assigning style labels to words in dictionaries. Style labels, as elements of pragmatic information, should be as objective as possible, but in practice they often lack objectivity because they are assigned to words intuitively. A chance to give them more rigor is offered by the PELCRA search engine in the National Corpus of Polish which computes stylistic distribution of search words. The considerations concern the research possibilities that the use of statistical and computer tools in verifying dictionary qualifiers. The method is tested on a sample of 100 words marked as ‘bookish’ in the “Polish Language Dictionary” by Mieczysław Szymczak, because it is one of the most mysterious qualifiers.
