Abstract:
The present volume includes a selection of 20 papers from the 31st Annual
Conference of the International Computer Archive of Modern and Medieval
English (ICAME), held in Giessen (Germany) in May 2010. The conference
topic was "Corpus linguistics and variation in English". All the papers
included in the present Conference Proceedings capture aspects of variation
in language use on the basis of corpus analyses, providing new descriptive
insights, and/or new methods of utilising corpora for the description of
language variation. Of particular interest are the five plenary papers that
are included in the present volume, focusing on corpus-based approaches to
variation in language from different disciplinary perspectives: Stefan Th.
Gries (quantitative-statistical descriptions of variation and corpora),
Michaela Mahlberg (stylistic variation and corpora), Miriam Meyerhoff
(variational sociolinguistics and corpora), Edgar W. Schneider (regional
variation and corpora) and Elizabeth C. Traugott (historical
variation/grammaticalization and corpora).
