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.
