This monograph centers on a group of statistical methods referred to as 'linguistic profiles' that have been developed recently by researchers at the University of Tromsø (Norway). These methods are based on the observation that there is a strong correlation between semantic and distributional properties of linguistic units. This book discusses grammatical, semantic, constructional, collostructional and diachronic profiles.
