Abstract
The article represents results of diachronic studying the historical and political vocabulary with Google System Books Ngram Viewer. The authors investigate changes in use frequency of political figures names during 1920–2000. The study results demonstrate the relationship between changes in the frequency use of names in printed documents texts with historical events and political traditions of different countries. Some limitations of the system were also considered.
Keywords: corpus linguistics, Google Books Ngram Viewer, diachronic research, historical-cultural studies, political figures names.
