Linguistic variation is a topic of ongoing interest to the field.
Its description and its explanations continue to intrigue scholars
from many different backgrounds. By taking a deliberately broad
perspective on the matter, covering not only crosslinguistic and
diachronic but also intralinguistic and interspeaker variation and
examining phenomena ranging from negation over connectives to
definite articles in well- and lesser-known languages, the volume
furthers our understanding of variation in general. The papers
offer new insights into, among other things, the theoretical notion
of comparative concepts, the social or mental nature of language
structure, the areal factor in lexical typology and the diachronic
implications of semantic maps. The collection will thus be of
relevance to typologists and historical linguists, as well as to
people studying variation within the areas of cognitive and
functional linguistics.
