- Abbreviations
- Contractions
- Colloquialisms
- Archaisms
- The tone
- Any other interesting features that stand out and are comparable
To compare our pieces we will make comparisons between our own decade and a recent copy (from 2 weeks ago) of Redbrick to see how they differ. The measurable factors such as the number of abbreviations, contractions, colloquialisms and archaisms could be represented by bar graphs or pie charts to show changes.
We are meeting next Friday at 10 to compare our findings so we can collate them and put them in the PowerPoint. Then we will attend the meeting at 12.

This looks like further progress - good. As I said before, features such as lexical density, clause complexes and sentence length could help you to identify differences in 'tone', but the other things you've chosen should help to do this too - especially if you've identified them by doing some initial checking on what seems to be different. Let me know if there's anything you need from me, and don't forget office hours and the drop-in session on Friday (25th).
