Locating Linguistic Variation: A Case Study of English Auxiliary Contraction
Labov goes on to argue that the observed patterning of deletion with regards to other variable phenomena (specifically, copula contraction) argues for one analysis in particular: that by which forms of be are deleted by phonological processes. The more broadlyapplicable argument is that the patterns and correlations observed in natural speech data provide evidence for the particular locus of th...
متن کاملDevelopment of cross-linguistic variation in speech and gesture: motion events in English and Turkish.
The way adults express manner and path components of a motion event varies across typologically different languages both in speech and cospeech gestures, showing that language specificity in event encoding influences gesture. The authors tracked when and how this multimodal cross-linguistic variation develops in children learning Turkish and English, 2 typologically distinct languages. They fou...

Language is not to be considered an isolated system of either symbols or mental rules, but a system used in a specific setting and for specific communicative purposes. It is within this pragmatic paradigm that English for Specific Purposes (ESP) ...
متن کاملLinguistic Variation and Computation
Language variationists study how languages vary along geographical or social lines or along lines of age and gender. Variationist data is available and challenging, in particular for DIALECTOLOGY, the study of geographical variation, which will be the focus of this paper, although we present approaches we expect to transfer smoothly to the study of variation correlating with other extralinguist...
متن کاملMeasuring Linguistic Variation Commensurably
The primary data on pronunciation variation – e.g., dialect atlas data – is often recorded incommensurably, i.e. in different ways in different atlases, and even in different ways within the same atlas when teams of fieldworkers and transcribers are involved. In particular these data collections differ in the detail in which pronunciations are recorded, using between 40 and 100 different basic ...
