Abstract
This article aims to confirm that modifications in meanings of words are associated with their collocations. This is based on an analysis performed on the collocations of the adjective ‘słodki’ [sweet]. The language material for the research was collected using historical and contemporary Polish language corpora: Korpus Dawnych Polskich Tekstów Dramatycznych (1772–1939) [The Corpus of Polish Drama Texts], PELCRA search engine for Narodowy Korpus Języka Polskiego[The National Corpus of Polish], and the Monco PL searching tool for websites. Analysing authentic examples of word combinations reveals the relationship between the adjective’s specific meaning and its collocates. The analysis also demonstrates that the collocation of ‘słodki’ has been changing over the eras of language use.
