Daily press                                                                   CSL

Chronological span: The subsample of daily press consists of 1 427 180 words and it is chronologically divided into three periods: a. 1945 - 1948 (450 222 words), 1948 – 1952 (290 492 words) and 1952 - 1957 (686 466 words). The rational for such chronological partition is related to the fact that from 1945 till 1957 there were three distinct periods in history of Yugoslavia: a. period of reconstruction after the war, b. period of conflict with the USSR and countries of Eastern block, and c. period of opening towards the West and normalization of relations with the Eastern block countries. This, on the other hand, allowed for investigation of diachronic lexical changes related to political and cultural events in former Yugoslavia in a relatively small time span. 
The principles of sampling: The whole subsample is based on Belgrade’s daily newspaper "Politika". There were two reasons for such a choice: a. Founded in 1904 it was the most read and respected daily newspaper in former Yugoslavia. Also, it was read in all parts of former Yugoslavia, and b. "Politika" had high language standards, and in that respect it could be treated as a good example of professional journalism. Sampling was based on date, page and position of a text on a page. Within a particular issue, sampling by page and position was random and included the whole issue from the first to the last page. Likewise, the dates were also randomly chosen. 
State of the material: The whole subsample was grammatically tagged and three distinct frequency dictionaries were complied (i.e. one for each period) in the late fifties. This means that the original tagged material is no more available, although the original issues of "Politika" from which the sample has been made are preserved, with designations as too which parts of text were sampled. Therefore, all of the material can be transferred into electronic format. The frequency dictionaries for the three respective periods are available in the electronic format, as is the frequency dictionary for all three subsamples. 
List of issues that constitute the sample: All issues of "Politika" that constitute the sample, as well as the number of words for each issue are given in the following table:
