The emergence of diachronic corpus linguistics in the last two decades has
allowed us unprecedented access to data in the study of past stages of
language and language change. Major areas of interest that have emerged in
this field include the study of genre (broadly conceived) as a major factor
affecting language variation and change, as well as the notion of genre as a
locus of change. In addition, there has been great interest in how specific
genres have (or have not) changed over time.

This international conference will bring together scholars examining the role
of genre in language change, and the use of diachronic corpora to study such
developments in any language.

The following have kindly agreed to give plenary lectures:

Eric Atwell (The University of Leeds)
Thomas Gloning (The University of Gießen)
Bethany Gray (Iowa State University)
Irma Taavitsainen (The University of Helsinki)

Susan Fitzmaurice (The University of Sheffield)
