Frequency in Corpora as a Signal of Lexicalization (On the Absolute Usage of Comparative and Superlative Adjectives)
By: Pavla Kochová
Abstract
The study deals with the category of comparison of Czech adjectives from the semantic point of view; it concentrates especially on the so-called absolute (or elative) usage of comparatives and the absolute usage of superlatives and their lexicographic treatment (or absence of the lexicographic treatment) in Czech monolingual dictionaries. The question is whether their frequency in corpora can prove lexicalization of this usage.
