Variation studies is an increasingly popular area in linguistics,
becoming embedded in curriculum design, conferences, and research.
However, the field is at risk of fragmenting into different
research communities with different foci. This pioneering book
addresses this by establishing a canon of state-of-the-art
quantitative methods to analyze grammatical variation from a
comparative perspective. It explains how to use these methods to
investigate large datasets in a responsible fashion, providing a
blueprint for applying techniques from corpus linguistics,
variationist, and dialectometric traditions in novel ways. It
specifically explores the scope and limits of syntactic variability
in a global language such as English, and investigates three
grammatical alternations in nine varieties of English, exploring
what we can learn about the grammatical choices that people make
based on both observational and experimental data. Comprehensive
yet accessible, it will be of interest to academic researchers and
students of sociolinguistics, corpus linguistics, and World
Englishes.
