| Research Abstract |
Various newspaper archives allow us to search entire databases of articles from the first issues up to today. Using these archives is a useful way to trace how the usages and meanings of words have changed over the years. I have proposed effective ways of collecting data from them, appropriate formats that data should be saved in so that they can be compared later with the results from other archives, and how to supplement genres and registers of data that newspapers fail to provide. The research was carried out with a special focus on synonyms and metaphors.
