Diachronic subcorpus statistics have been added to the Main and Regional corpora. Now you can compare graphs characterizing the size and composition of texts in a subcorpus, changing over time, with texts of the whole corpus. For example, one can see that women authors in the 19th century write relatively more fiction than texts in other genres, and the situation levels off in the twentieth century.

You can set the distribution, dates, and smoothing of frequencies. To see the charts of diachronic statistics, you need to click on the (i) button in the subcorpus header, select the Statistics section, and navigate to the Diachronic statistics tab.

From the tooltip, you can learn how to use the new charts and graphs and how to interpret the obtained results.

Earlier in February, diachronic statistics of the Main and Regional corpora became available to users.
