Abstract:

This volume aims to overcome sub-disciplinary boundaries in the study of
linguistic variation - be it language-internal or cross-linguistic. Even
though dialectologists, register analysts, typologists, and quantitative
linguists all deal with linguistic variation, there is astonishingly little
interaction across these fields. But the fourteen contributions in this volume
show that these subdisciplines actually share many interests and
methodological concerns in common. The chapters specifically converge in the
following ways: First, they all seek to explore linguistic variation, within
or across languages. Second, they are based on usage data, that is, on corpora
of (more or less) authentic text or speech of different languages or language
varieties. Third, all chapters are concerned with the joint analysis (also
sometimes known as “aggregation” or “data synthesis”) of multiple phenomena,
features, or measurements of some sort. And lastly, the contributors all
marshal quantitative analysis techniques to analyse the data. In short, the
volume explores the text-feature-aggregation pipeline in variation studies,
demonstrating that there is much mutual inspiration to be had by thinking
outside the disciplinary box.
