“Colloquialization,” and anti-colloquial effects such as “densification,” have been shown to shape register change in English, with Australian English showing stronger effects of colloquiality than British English. Parliamentary Hansard records are at the intersection of writing and speech and are subject to various influencing factors possibly leading to change in this register, which we represent in a conceptual model. We apply Biber’s (1988) method of multidimensional analysis to examine the co-occurrence of linguistic features in the British and Australian Hansard over five consecutive time periods. The data provide evidence of shared as well as differentiated effects of colloquialization and densification across the two varieties. The evidence also points to a new type of anti-colloquial trend observed in the parliamentary register, whereby presentation of information appears to be taking the place of a more interactive and interpersonally oriented style, a trend we term “monologization.”

英国和澳大利亚汉萨德的注册变更（1901-2015）

“口语化”和“密集化”等反口语效应已被证明会影响英语的语域变化，澳大利亚英语比英国英语表现出更强的口语效果。议会的 Hansard 记录处于写作和演讲的交叉点，受各种影响因素的影响，可能会导致此记录发生变化，我们用概念模型表示。我们应用 Biber (1988) 的多维分析方法来检查英国和澳大利亚 Hansard 在连续五个时间段内的语言特征的共现。数据提供了两个品种的口语化和密集化的共享和差异化影响的证据。证据还表明，在议会登记册中观察到了一种新型的反口语化趋势，
