Abstract
This short paper uses the recently-completed Hansard Corpus to show the patterning of attitudes expressed by the British Parliament about things considered to be ‘uncivilized' across the last two centuries. It starts from the lexical resource of the Historical Thesaurus of English to gain an overview of the lexicalisation of the concept ‘uncivilized’ and uses this digital data demonstrates a substantial shift (from foreign to domestic) in who Parliament considers to be uncivil.
