Studies in Language and Linguistics General Editors- Geoffrey
Leech, Department of Modern English Language, Lancaster University
and Jenny Thomas, School of English and Linguistics, University of
Wales, Bangor Broad-ranging and authoritative, Studies in Language
and Linguistics is an occasional series incorporating major new
work in all areas of linguistics. Variation in English-
Multi-Dimensional Studies provides both a comprehensive view into a
relatively new technique for studying language, and a diverse,
exciting collection of studies of variation in English. The first
part of the book provides an explanation of multi-dimensional (MD)
analysis, a research technique for studying language variation. MD
is a corpus-based approach developed by Doug Biber that facilitates
large-scale studies of language variation and the investigation of
research questions that were previously intractable. The second
part of the book contains studies that apply Biber's original MD
analysis of English to new domains. These studies cover the
historical evolution of English; specialized domains such as
medical writing and oral proficiency testing; and dialect
variation, including gender and British/American. The third part of
the book contains studies that conduct new MD analyses, covering
adult/child language differences, 18th century speech and writing,
and discourse complexity. Readers of this book will become familiar
with the analytical techniques of multi-dimensional analysis, with
its applicability to a wide variety of language issues, and with
the findings of important studies previously published in diverse
journals as well as new studies appearing for the first time.
