This edited volume, based on papers presented at the 2017
Georgetown University Round Table on Language and Linguistics
(GURT), approaches the study of language variation from a variety
of angles. Language variation research asks broad questions such
as, "Why are languages' grammatical structures different from one
another?" as well as more specific word-level questions such as,
"Why are words that are pronounced differently still recognized to
be the same words?" Too often, research on variation has been
siloed based on the particular question-sociolinguists do not talk
to historical linguists, who do not talk to phoneticians, and so
on. This edited volume seeks to bring discussions from different
subfields of linguistics together to explore language variation in
a broader sense and acknowledge the complexity and interwoven
nature of variation itself.
