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 automatic text classification). 1
