| Abstract: |
The article analyses the word 'patriotism' in the Contemporary Corpus of American English (COCA) and the results are compared with the definition of the same word in the Online Merriam-Webster Dictionary. The comparison points out that one of the most comprehensive dictionaries of American English does not provide a consistent and clear structure of the senses of the word 'patriotism' as it is used today. Some suggestions for the improvement of the definition are offered. |
