| Summary |
This book is concerned with the quantitative, usage based, and aggregational study of linguistic variation. Even though dialectologists, register analysts, typologists, and quantitative linguists deal with linguistic variation, there has been little interaction across these fields. The contributions, written by renowned specialists in their subfields, demonstrate that there is mutual inspiration by thinking outside the disciplinary box. |
