Abstract:

This volume explores how the patterning of surface variation can shed light on
the grammatical representation of variable phenomena. The authors explore
variation in several domains, addressing intra- and inter-dialectal patterns,
using diverse sources of data including corpora of naturally-occurring speech
and judgment studies, and drawing on lesser-studied varieties of familiar
languages, such as Northwest British Englishes and varieties of Canadian
French. Ultimately, the contributions serve to expand our understanding of the
nature of the mental representations and abstract processes required to
support variation in language. Originally published as special issue of
"Linguistic Variation" 16:2 (2016)
