“…While diachronic research on audio-visual media is comparably rare, Luginbühl (2014Luginbühl ( , 2019 provides a comprehensive, culturecontrastive account of TV news programs in the U.S. and Switzerland. Analysing 76 programs broadcast between 1949 and 2005, Luginbühl tracks changes in individual genres and the genre profile, and makes important contributions to a theory of genre development as well (Luginbühl, 2014, Ch.…”

“…Developments are stratified across various levels of abstraction (Bateman, 2008, p. 229;Luginbühl, 2014Luginbühl, , 2019Stöckl, 2017;Pflaeging, 2019Pflaeging, , 2020a. At pattern-level, single (multi)modal choices (e.g., a layout pattern) may be perpetuated (pattern stability) or used more/ less frequently over time (pattern change through strengthening or weakening), may be internalised through borrowing from other genres, or are novel creations (Pflaeging, 2017a, p. 259;Pflaeging, 2019, p. 77).…”

“…When bundles of semiotic choices diverge noticeably from established use (Bhatia, 2014, p. 92), scholars speak of genre split (Lemke, 1999;Luginbühl, 2014, p. 335;Brock, 2015, p. 207;Schildhauer, 2016, p. 41; see Pflaeging, 2017a, p. 77-78). Developments like these, in turn, may result in changes at the genre profile-level (Luginbühl, 2015a(Luginbühl, , 2019. By describing the genre repertoire, genre frequencies and genre networks typical of a given medium, statements can be made about a community's multimodal genre space (Bateman, 2008, p. 225-229).…”

This mini-review gives an overview of diachronic multimodality research, an approach that multimodality scholars have pursued only rarely so far. Acknowledging the comparably large share of case studies in this line of research, this paper sets out by surveying empirical contributions. Many of them also provide discussions of selected theoretical and methodological aspects, which are subsequently collated and complemented with concepts from a number of more extensive theoretical proposals. Identifying main developments in diachronic multimodality studies and avenues for future work, this review seeks to support its growth into a mature research strand with a solid theoretical basis, a versatile methodological toolbox, and a broad range of research objects.

“…(Pietikäinen & Mäntynen, 2020). Or, to formulate the dynamic from the language user's perspective, genres have to be stable in order to remain recognizable and, thus, facilitate communication by providing a reliable pattern for fulfilling a communicative need in a particular situation of language use (Luginbühl, 2014). However, none of these situations is identical, and, therefore, dynamism and flexibility, too, must be inherent characteristics of genres (Devitt, 2004).…”

The amount of available digital data is increasing at a tremendous rate. These data, however, are of limited use unless converted into a user-friendly form. We took on this task and built a natural language generation (NLG) driven system that generates journalistic news stories about elections without human intervention. In this paper, after presenting an overview of state-of-the-art technologies in NLG, we explain systematically how we identified and then recontextualized the determinant aspects of the genre of an online news story in the algorithm of our NLG software. In the discussion, we introduce the key results of a user test we carried out and some improvements that these results suggest. Then, after relating the news items that our NLG system generates to general aspects of genres and their evolution, we conclude by questioning the idea that journalistic NLG systems should mimic journalism written by humans. Instead, we suggest that developmental work in the field of news automation should aim to create a new genre based on the inherent strengths of NLG. Finally, we present a few suggestions as to what this genre could include.

“…Genre change can be modelled mainly as caused by a reproductive cycle: If innovations in specific texts are repeatedly reproduced by genre users, the prototypical core of the category begins to shift (cf, e. g., Bateman 2011: 248). Recently, research has identified a variety of genre change patterns (cf., e. g., Bolter/Grusin 2001;Brock 2009;Luginbühl 2014;Stöckl 2010). The current study draws on the following: 6  Evolutionary Change.…”

A Diachronic Approach to Web-Based Genres: The Case of the Personal Weblog

This study pursues two related aims: (1) It develops a diachronic approach to web-based genres and explores its potentials and limitations. (2) As a case in point, it uses the genre personal weblog, providing a diachronic description of both recurrent and changing features of the genre. It applies a mixed-methods approach that draws on historical sources and the DIABLOC, a diachronic blog corpus, which spans 15 years from 1997 to 2012 and includes also examples of the very first weblogs. Analyses are selectively extended beyond the surface of blog-pages to their HTML source code. On the basis of corpus material, patterns of genre change such as migration, pattern embedding and genre split are described and embedded into a differentiated model of the development of the personal weblog genre.
