The present volume includes a selection of 20 papers from the 31st
Annual Conference of the International Computer Archive of Modern
and Medieval English (ICAME), held in Giessen (Germany) in May 2010.
The conference topic was "Corpus linguistics and variation in
English". All the papers included in the present Conference
Proceedings capture aspects of variation in language use on the basis
of corpus analyses, providing new descriptive insights, and/or new
methods of utilising corpora for the description of language
variation. Of particular interest are the five plenary papers that
are included in the present volume, focusing on corpus-based
approaches to variation in language from different disciplinary
perspectives: Stefan Th. Gries (quantitative-statistical descriptions
of variation and corpora), Michaela Mahlberg (stylistic variation and
corpora), Miriam Meyerhoff (variational sociolinguistics and
corpora), Edgar W. Schneider (regional variation and corpora) and Elizabeth C.
Traugott (historical variation/grammaticalization and corpora).
