本研究采用话题模式探讨英语动词run的一词多义和历时语义频率变化。认知语言学中越来越多的基于语料库的研究已经在语言的各个方面产生了许多经验性的发现。然而，仍然有一些领域没有得到足够的重视。其中一个领域是从相关主题和社会利益的角度研究词义。本文通过对NOW语料库（网络新闻）历时数据的分析，认为“run”的多义性可以用话题来描述，“run”的词义变化可以用社会兴趣的变化来描述。
This study discusses the polysemy and diachronic semantic frequency shifts of the English verb run using a topic model. The increase in corpus-based research in cognitive linguistics has yielded many empirical findings on various aspects of language. However, there are still areas that have not received sufficient attention. One such area is the study of word meaning in terms of related topics and social interest. In this paper, we analyze diachronic data collected from the NOW corpus (News on Web) and argue that the polysemy of run can be described in terms of topic, and that the change in the use of the meanings that this verb has can be described in terms of a change in social interest.
