[Lingtyp] references for sociolinguistic approaches to variation in minority languages

[Jorge Rosés Labrada]

Dear Michael,

In addition to Meyerhoff's and Standord's work, John Mansfield has done
some excellent work on Murrihnpatha.

   - 2015. Consonant lenition as a sociophonetic variable in Murrinh Patha
   (Australia).  *Language Variation and Change*  27: 203-225
   - Morphotactic variation, prosodic domains and the changing structure of
   the Murrinhpatha verb.  *Asia-Pacific Language Variation *1(2): 163-189

And both Stanford and John are also contributors the recent Special
Publication volume on variation in minority languages from the journal
*Language
Documentation & Conservation *(available here:
http://hdl.handle.net/10125/24754)*:*

   -
      - Kristine A. Hildebrandt, Carmen Jany & Wilson Silva (eds.). 2017.
      Documenting variation in endangered languages. *Special Publication
      13 Language Documentation & Conservation.*

Someone else who's been working in this area is Naomi Nagy of University of
Toronto; her personal website has an up-to-date list of publications:

Best,
Jorge
