His report focuses on sensible methods for extracting reliable linguistic information from the Internet. The report provides a comparative analysis of the National Corpus of the Russian language and various Internet corpses as sources of information about the Russian lexical language of various types. On the material of Russian explanatory dictionaries and individual linguistic studies, typical errors and inaccuracies that resulted from ignoring modern corpus methods in lexicography are analyzed.



The segmental structure of the Russian-language blogosphere is considered, the various results of its analysis by the segment-statistical method are shown in the study of the synchronous state and dynamics of changes in the general Russian and regional vocabulary, phraseology and grammar. The method of linguistically oriented search in the blogosphere and ways to overcome the difficulties arising from this are described in detail.
