Abstrakt: 

This paper presents the results of a diachronic small-scale exploratory study into newspaper language focusing on change in syntactic functions of finite and non-finite clauses. The findings are compared with the results of research into academic English with the aim to ascertain which changes seem more universally valid and which ones can be considered register-dependent only.
