Jak współcześnie badać frazeologię w tekstach dawnych? Możliwości wykorzystania narzędzi cyfrowych w pracy historyka języka
How to study phraseology in historical texts using contemporary methods? The potential to use digital tools in the work of a language historian

Summary/Abstract: The research aims to overcome the limitations of the systemic examination of phraseology in historical texts using available digital tools. The article seeks to answer the question posed in the title by presenting a functional study of phraseology using the Korpus dawnych polskich tekstów dramatycznych (1772–1939) [A corpus of Polish dramatic texts (1772–1939)] and the intonation analyzer Wydźwięk. I conduct pragma- and sociolinguistic analysis in the context of language functions identified by Michael Halliday; I also propose using selected sociological factors included in the corpus that may correlate with the choice of phraseology in a given context. I verify the evaluation of the intonation of expressions by comparing the tool’s results with my linguistic intuition. The research results are presented in a separate section, juxtaposed with the state of research (systematic analysis) and the researcher’s linguistic competencies. The prospects for using digital tools in phraseological research in ancient texts are presented in the conclusion section.
