Abstract:

This volume offers several empirical, methodological, and theoretical
approaches to the study of observable variation within individuals on various
linguistic levels. With a focus on German varieties, the chapters provide
answers on the following questions (inter alia): 

Which linguistic and extra-linguistic factors explain intra-individual
variation? Is there observable intra-individual variation that cannot be
explained by linguistic and extra-linguistic factors? Can group-level results
be generalised to individual language usage and vice versa? Is
intra-individual variation indicative of actual patterns of language change?
How can intra-individual variation be examined in historical data?

Consequently, the various theoretical, methodological and empirical approaches
in this volume offer a better understanding of the meaning of intra-individual
variation for patterns of language development, language variation and change.

The inter- and transdisciplinary nature of the volume is an exciting new
frontier, and the results of the studies in this book provide a wealth of new
findings as well as challenges to some of the existing findings and
assumptions regarding the nature of intra-individual variation.
