Corpus-assisted critical discourse analysis
A team of linguists based at Lancaster University (UK) is researching the possibility of combining the techniques typically used in corpus research and those used in critical discourse analysis (CDA). CDA generally adopts a leftist political stance, focussing on the ways that social and political domination is reproduced by text and talk (Baker et al. 2008).
Modern diachronic corpus-assisted discourse studies (MD-CADS)
Modern diachronic corpus-assisted discourse studies contrasts the language contained in comparable corpora from different but recent points in time in order to track changes in modern language usage but also social, cultural and political changes over modern times, as reflected - and shared among people - in language. The SiBol (Siena-Bologna Universities) project analyses the differences between two corpora of UK quality newspaper texts, the first dating from 1993 (c 100 million words), the second from 2005 (140 million words).

“In the middle years of childhood, it is more important to keep alive and glowing the interest in finding out and to support this interest with skills and techniques related to the process of finding out than to specify any particular piece of subject matter as inviolate.”
—Dorothy H. Cohen (20th century)
“One of the things that is most striking about the young generation is that they never talk about their own futures, there are no futures for this generation, not any of them and so naturally they never think of them. It is very striking, they do not live in the present they just live, as well as they can, and they do not plan. It is extraordinary that whole populations have no projects for a future, none at all.”
—Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)
