arXiv:2608.19472v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Lexical semantic change (LSC) is commonly modelled through vector-space representations, but these approaches often provide limited insight into which aspects of usage are changing. Diachronic corpus research instead examines interpretable dimensions such as syntactic behaviour, morphology, and constructional patterns, but typically through separate analytical workflows. We present SynFlow, an open-source toolkit for multidimensional diachronic analysis of linguistic usage. SynFlow converts linguistic observations into period-specific distributions and applies a shared workflow across dependency-based co-occurrences, morphological features, constructional configurations, and externally derived representations such as Frame Semantics. It supports different distance measures, together with value-level decomposition, statistical testing, and incremental clustering of lexical fillers. We demonstrate SynFlow through a qualitative case study of the German adjective viral, showing how a single semantic development is reflected across syntactic, lexical, constructional, and morphological dimensions. We further report previously published results on SemEval-2020 Task 1 to situate the performance of these representations relative to existing lexical semantic change detection systems.
