Why do languages allow us to say 'the same thing' in so many
different ways? One of the answers is that in saying what we want
to say, we always position ourselves in social space as well, by
speaking differently from relevant other social actors or groups.
This volume explores how variability in language is exploited (and
maintained) in order to perform this social identity work in
interaction. It shows that variable features cluster together in
socially meaningful ways when considered as social (communicative)
styles linked to social identities.
