The paper examines the lexical and grammatical features of English popular science prose in the diachronic aspect (based on the books “The Selfish Gene” by Richard Dawkins and “The Vital Question” by Nick Lane); it analyzes the main external and internal factors of linguistic evolution that determine the language features of modern popular science prose. Beyond that it identifies the opportunities of using data mining and machine learning techniques in diachronic stylistics.
