i roughly understand the framing of microgenetic, ontogenetic, and
phylogenetic change in language use -- but what is there at an
institutional/systemic level? Have there been ways to characterize the
development in language lets say, over a year, or over the lifetime of an
organization?

Inquiring minds, especially that of an educator situated in deep
institutional changes with respect to standards, high stakes and performance
assessments, accreditation, and more ( the capitalist expansionist "more"
which means more and more) want to know. What is there in this direction?
There appears to be a big gap between ontogenetic and phylogenetic.
