Tying together work on a number of languages and linguistic
varieties in different locales, this book provides students and
researchers with a convenient, unified overview of variationist
analysis in linguistics. Variation in Linguistic Systems takes a
theoretical and quantitative approach to the study of variation in
language, focusing on the role of language-internal constraints on
variation and the relation of linguistic variation to linguistic
theory. It introduces the basic concepts of variationist
linguistics, and includes key discussions of different types of
variation, multivariate analysis with GoldVarb, variation in sound
and grammatical systems, language change and language contact.
Here is an ideal textbook for an introductory course on
variation, as well as a useful resource for scholars with some
background in linguistics who are interested in the study of
language variation and its relation to the wider field of
linguistics.
