Cognitive Sociolinguistics is a novel and burgeoning field of
research which seeks to foster investigation into the
socio-cognitive dimensions of language at a usage-based level.
Advances in Cognitive Sociolinguistics brings together ten studies
into the social and conceptual aspects of language-internal
variation. All ten contributions rely on a firm empirical basis in
the form of advanced corpus-based techniques, experimental methods
and survey-based research, or a combination of these. The search
for methods that may adequately unravel the complex and
multivariate dimensions intervening in the interplay between
conceptual meaning and variationist factors is thus another
characteristic of the volume. In terms of its descriptive scope,
the volume covers three main areas: lexical and lexical-semantic
variation, constructional variation, and research on lectal
attitudes and acquisition. It thus illustrates how Cognitive
Sociolinguistics studies both the variation of meaning, and the
meaning of variation.
