Keywords in Religious Literature of 17^th and 18^th Centuries in Light of the Data from the Electronic Corpus of 17^th - and 18^th -Century Polish Texts

This paper discusses the application of standard keyword extraction methods from corpus linguistics for the study of old Polish language. The unfolding analysis is based on writings included in the Electronic Corpus of 17^th- and 18^th-century Polish Texts. The aim of this analysis is to select keywords from over two million tokens derived from texts tagged as religion in the corpus and compare them with the reference corpus containing over nine million tokens, while verifying the applicability of the log-likelihood method for the analysis of old Polish language and developing a part of the research model.
