Diachronic & Synchronic Analysis
Diachronic and Synchronic Analysis:
Diachronic analysis means the analysis of how a particular activity has been performed since thousands/hundreds of years ago. This is better studied by plotting it along a timeline. For example: How forging was done in renaissance era to how it changed during the industrial revolution, how it is done in modern times and how it is being done with the help of robotic arms. Identify the changes in process and tools and why those changes were adopted. Refer the images of Diachronic Analysis for Mobile phone/Communication Device in the given link:
Synchronic analysis means the analysis of how a particular activity is being performed in various other parallel industries. Activities similar in action like forging. Refer the images of Synchronic Analysis for Mobile phone/Communication Device in the given link:
In general, diachronic analysis relates to the way something changes (or doesn't) over time and why. Synchronic relates to the way something is used at a certain point in time but in different contexts (Students must observe the constants and the variables). The groups stay in the college/institute and generate their prior art search data and primary diachronic and synchronic analysis.
