[Corpora-List] Corpus-based research on social differentiation

[CRuehlemann at aol.com]

Dear all,
 
Is anyone aware of any corpus-based research on social differentiation in  
the use of language? I am aware of the following studies, which are based on  
either COLT or the BNC:
 
*COLT*:
 
Andersen, G. (2001) Pragmatic Markers and Sociolinguistic  Variation. A 
Relevance-Theoretic Approach to the Language of  Adolescents. 
Amsterdam/Philadelphia:  John Benjamins.
 
Stenström,  Anna-Brita, Gisle Andersen and I. Kristine Hasund. 2002. Trends  
in teenage talk.  Amsterdam/Philadelphia: John Benjamins.
 
*BNC*:
 
Rayson, P.,  G. Leech and M. Hodges (1997) ‘Social differentiation in the use 
of English  vocabulary: some analyses of the conversational component of the 
British  National Corpus’. Language 50(4): 696–735. 
Leech, G. and Fallon, R. 1992. Computer corpora - what do they tell us  about 
culture? ICAME Journal 16:  29-50  
Reid, J. (1995). ‘A  study of gender differences in minimal responses.’ 
Journal of Pragmatics  24: 489-512 
Schmid,  H. J. (2003) ‘Do women and men really live in different cultures? 
Evidence from  the BNC’. In Wilson, A., P. Rayson and T. McEnery (eds) Corpus 
Linguistics by  the Lune. A Festschrift for Geoffrey Leech. Frankfurt  am Main: 
Peter Lang, 185–221. 
 
Rühlemann.  Christoph. 2007. Conversation in context: A corpus-driven 
approach.  London: Continuum. 
 
 
Does anyone know of any other such corpus-based sociolinguistic  studies?
 
Your help is greatly appreciated.
 
Chris
