[Xiao, Zhonghua]

Here are two based on the BNC:
 
Xiao, Richard and Hongyin Tao (2007) A corpus-based sociolinguistic study of amplifiers in British English. Sociolinguistic Studies 1(2): 241-273.
 
McEnery, Tony and Richard Xiao (2004) Swearing in modern British English: The case of fuck in the BNC. Language and Literature 13(3): 235-268.

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


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
