With the ever increasing amount of information made available in all areas of life, including economy, science, education and culture, there is an imperative need to retrieve, elaborate and present this information in the most optimal way. Since the bulk of information is textual, information retrieval is mainly concerned with texts. This talk will present an outline of the approaches, principles and techniques used in textual data retrieval based on keyword extraction. There will be an analysis of the capabilities of various approaches showing their appropriate uses.

This paper examines the use of keywords to approach the discourse of moral panic evident in the writings of the Society for the Reformation of Manners in late seventeenth/early eighteenth century England. The keyword approach, I will argue allows one to populate a model of moral panic discourse, while simultaneously showing how, in that historical context, links were forged between concepts which, while unlinked then, have become naturalised as being linked in modern English. By showing how keywords relate to discourse, and ultimately to a process whereby meanings and objects become linked, the paper will argue that keywords are important tools for the historical linguist in studying the shifting patterns of word association in language.
