    Changing Clause Types in Written English

  • Original language description

    Diachronic research into written English, which includes the language of academic texts, newspaper articles and fiction, focuses on change in explicitly-expressed finite and non-finite predication over a period of about a century. The findings reveal that both current academic texts and newspaper articles display a trend towards a non-finite mode of expression. When the perspective is diachronic, in these two registers non-finite clauses seem to be used more frequently now than they were a hundred years ago. In the language of fiction, no such developmental features were found. As regards individual types of finite and non-finite clauses, the registers of written English show some similarities as well as differences. This paper deals with diachronic changes in concrete clause types of finite and non-finite clauses expressing different syntactic functions that occurred in academic texts and newspaper articles.
