Interesting idea. Off the cuff, I found these papers that look at AD 
detection from text:
http://vlado.cs.dal.ca/papers/icma05.pdf
http://www.cs.toronto.edu/~kfraser/Fraser15-JAD.pdf
http://scholarworks.rit.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=9737&context=theses
http://www.cs.toronto.edu/pub/gh/Google-talk.pdf

The last one is looking at language used by novelists over time. Things 
are clearly not simple, but there are definitely patterns to look for. 
The papers also aim at detecting AD *between* people, but clearly one 
could make a yearly measure and see how it changes, and if there is a 
detectable change point at the intervention.
