AB Traditionally, English for Specific Purposes has dealt with the study of textual subgenres from a synchronic perspective, with the aim of specifying and analyzing the linguistic and structural characteristics that define them. This is often designed to support pedagogical or teaching objectives. However, the particular nature of tourist texts means it is necessary to look at them from the perspective of different parameters, because, as we are dealing with texts aimed at a very heterogeneous range of consumers, these texts are distinguished more in terms of their communicative function than by purely linguistic or structural features.For this reason, this article offers a diachronic study of a corpus of tourist texts aimed at visitors to the Canary Islands, involving texts produced over a period of time from the end of the 19th century to the present day. The aim is to consider the evolution that this subgenre has undergone over time, and look at the discursive typology which is predominant in different historical stages
