This paper examines the semantic change of the word love. The essay investigates if the meaning of the word has changed based on how it has been defined in different dictionaries from different points in time and what collocations that are frequently occurring next to loveaccording to The Movie Corpus. This data, then, answers the questions if there are correlations between the definitions in the dictionaries (1957 – 2018) and the frequently occurring collocations in the Movie Corpus (1930s – 2010s), if love has changed in meaning between the periods of the two different types of sources and if there are external factors that could have affected the semantic change. The results show tendencies in a correlation between changes in lexical definitions of love and frequently occurring collocations to love, meaning that along with how the frequent collocations tolove change, the lexical definition of love change. Concluding the results and previous research, it is possible to see that the usage of love has changed, although not very much.
