Abstract:
Owing to the ever-increasing possibilities of communication, especially with
the advent of modern communication technologies, register analysis offers a
constantly widening range of research opportunities. Still, research has
mainly concentrated on well-established and frequent registers such as
newspaper articles, while many descriptive and theoretical issues have not yet
been sufficiently investigated.
This volume gives a state-of-the-art insight into register studies and points
out emerging trends as well as new directions for future research.
Furthermore, it provides a forum for the description and discussion of
registers which have not received an appropriate amount of attention so far.
In particular, it deals with specialized offline and online registers,
cross-register comparison as well as regional, contrastive, and diachronic
register variation.
In parallel to the new discipline of variational pragmatics, this volume aims
to foster the discipline of ‘variational text linguistics’ and to initiate
fundamental investigations in this area. This field of research provides new
insights into the concept of register, since it covers both functional and
regional types of textual variation.

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Indiana University and
as such can receive donations through Indiana University Foundation. We
also collect donations via eLinguistics Foundation, a registered 501(c)
Non Profit organization with the federal tax number 45-4211155. Either
way, the donations can be offset against your federal and sometimes your
state tax return (U.S. tax payers only). For more information visit the
IRS Web-Site, or contact your financial advisor.
Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that
they will match any gift you make to a non-profit organization.
Normally this entails your contacting your human resources department
and sending us a form that the Indiana University Foundation fills in
and returns to your employer. This is generally a simple administrative
procedure that doubles the value of your gift to LINGUIST, without
costing you an extra penny. Please take a moment to check if
your company operates such a program.
Thank you very much for your support of LINGUIST!
