Conceptual Modeling of the Polysemy Resolution Process Using the Corpus

The article is devoted to identifying the advantages of using linguistic corpus in the study of polysemantic lexical units and the spheres of their functioning. Options for translating these words are considered in accordance with the current trends in the development of modern society. The methods of comparative and structural analysis and generalization were used. As a result of the study the advantages of using the British National Corpus and the Corpus of Contemporary American English in linguistic research were revealed and the results of using these corpora in the study of polysemantic frequency words in modern English were analyzed. The results of the research can be used in courses on linguistics, theory and practice of translation. Moreover, the results of behavioral research can serve as material for a deeper and more detailed study of the usage of linguistic corpus in the study of polysemantic lexical units.
