Abstract:

The contributions of this book deal with the issue of language variation. They
all share the assumption that within the language faculty the variation space
is hierarchically constrained and that minimal changes in the set of property
values defining each language give rise to diverse outputs within the same
system. Nevertheless, the triggers for language variation can be different and
located at various levels of the language faculty. The novelty of the volume
lies in exploring different loci of language variation by including
wide-ranging empirical perspectives that cover different levels of analysis
(syntax, phonology and prosody) and deal with different kinds of data, mostly
from Romance and Germanic languages, from dialects, idiolects, language
acquisition, language attrition and creolization, analyzed from both
diachronic and synchronic perspectives.

The volume is divided in three parts. The first part is dedicated to
synchronic variation in phonology and syntax; the second part deals with
diachronic variation and language change, and the third part investigates the
role of contact, attrition and acquisition in giving rise to language change
and language variation in bilingual settings.

This volume is a useful tool for linguistics of diverse theoretical
persuasions working on theoretical and comparative linguistics and to anyone
interested in language variation, language change, dialectology, language
acquisition and typology.
