Sažetak
This paper questions the validity of tests considered to determine the prototypical senses of polysemous lexemes which involve linguistic frequencies and assume that the highest frequency of use corresponds to the center of the lexical category. Using a Croatian computer corpus and corpus linguistics methodology frequency data for three Croatian nouns are analyzed and compared to native speaker intuition in the establishment of prototypical meanings of these lexemes. It is pointed out that reasons for the existence of prototypicality in lexemes are cognitive in nature and that there are at least some linguistic categories in which frequency of use is not an indicator of prototypicality.
