    Author : Maria Irena Szawerna; [2023-06-19]
    Keywords : language variation; Polish; diachronic linguistics; part-of-speech tagging; lemmatization; corpus linguistics;

    Abstract : Computational approaches to language variation continue to contribute in a relevant way to various fields, including Natural Language Processing (NLP) and linguistics. Being able to accommodate variation within natural language increases the robustness of NLP models and their usefulness in real-life applications; simultaneously, detecting and describing variation and trends that govern it is one of the main goals of sociolinguistics and historical linguistics, meaning that some of the advances in NLP can contribute to these fields as well.
