Abstract

The article presents the algorithm of the frequency dictionary to an original ancient text, “Otpys” (“Response”) by Kliryk Ostrozkyi (the Cleric of Ostroh) of the late 16th century. Until now, no historical corpus of text of the Ukrainian language has been created; therefore the drafting of metagraphical texts with their subsequent processing in accordance with linguistic tasks can fill this gap. The peculiarity of creating a frequency dictionary based on one written monument is in using the model of frequency dictionaries and describing the specifics of processing the ancient text. These specifics is based on a deep understanding of the state of language in the end of the 16th century and consists in the unification of graphic and spelling variants, as well as in the formation of stems and lemmas. Work results are presented in the form of a Frequency Dictionary of Word Forms of “Otpys” by Kliryk Ostrozkyi according to the frequency decrease and a Frequency Dictionary of “Otpys” by Kliryk Ostrozkyi according to the frequency decrease.
