The volume explores the relationship between linguistic universals
and language variation. Its contributions identify the recurrent
patterns and principles behind the complex spectrum of observable
variation. The volume bridges the gap between cross-linguistic
variation, regional variation, diachronic variation,
contact-induced variation as well as socially conditioned
variation. Moreover, it addresses fundamental methodological and
theoretical issues of variation research. The volume brings
together internationally renowned specialists of their fields
while, at the same time, offering a platform for gifted and highly
talented young researchers. The authors come from different
theoretical backgrounds and through their work illustrate a rich
array of scientific methods. All authors share a strong belief in
empirically founded theoretical work. The contributions span a high
number of languages and dialects from many parts of the world. They
are extremely broad in their empirical coverage addressing an
impressive selection of grammatical domains.
