The present paper describes procedures to visualise diachronic language changes in academic discourse to support analysis. These changes are reflected in the distribution of different lexico-grammatical features according to register. Findings about register differences are relevant for both linguistic applications (e.g., discourse analysis and translation studies) and NLP tasks (notably automa...

The Coruña Corpus of scientific writing will be used for the diachronic study of scientific discourse from most linguistic levels and thereby contribute to the study of the historical development of English. The Coruña Corpus Tool is an information retrieval system that allows the extraction of knowledge from the corpus.

Our research aims at tracking the semantic evolution of the lexicon over time. For this purpose, we investigated two wellknown training protocols for neural language models in a synchronic experiment and encountered several problems relating to accuracy and reliability. We were able to identify critical parameters for improving the underlying protocols in order to generate more adequate diachro...
