  In this chapter we provide an overview of computational modeling for semantic
change using large and semi-large textual corpora. We aim to provide a key for
the interpretation of relevant methods and evaluation techniques, and also
provide insights into important aspects of the computational study of semantic
change. We discuss the pros and cons of different classes of models with
respect to the properties of the data from which one wishes to model semantic
change, and which avenues are available to evaluate the results.
