Abstract:

This volume brings together key players in discourse variation research to
offer original analyses of a wide range of discourse-pragmatic variables, such
as 'like', 'innit', 'you get me', and 'at the end of the day'. The authors
introduce a range of new methods specifically tailored to the study of
discourse-pragmatic variation and change in synchronic and longitudinal
dialect data, and provide new empirical and theoretical insights into
discourse-pragmatic variation and change in contemporary varieties of English.
The volume thus enhances our understanding of the complexities of
discourse-pragmatic variation and change, and encourages new ways of thinking
about variability in discourse-pragmatics. With its dual focus on presenting
innovative methods as well as new results, the volume will provide an
important resource for both newcomers and veterans alike in the field of
discourse variation analysis, and spark discussions that will set new
directions for future work in the field.

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

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.
