Aracne: a study of linguistic variation in the Spanish press between 1914 and 2014
Article Sidebar
Main Article Content
Aracne is a corpus linguistic project aimed at quantitatively measuring how the language of the Spanish press evolved between 1914 and 2014, paying special attention to the features of lexical richness. The project has involved the creation of a two-million word corpus compiled on the basis of news items extracted from the newspaper archives of four centenarian newspapers (El Norte de Castilla, El Diario de Mallorca, El Heraldo de Aragón and La Vanguardia). On the basis of this corpus, different measures of richness have been obtained by decade (variation, lexical density and complexity of the articles) and the values obtained for the different periods have been compared. The results evince that, over the last century, the richness and complexity of journalistic texts has remained substantially stable.
