The authors explore variation in several domains, addressing intra- and inter-dialectal patterns, using diverse sources of data including corpora of naturally-occurring speech and judgment studies, and drawing on lesser-studied varieties of familiar languages, such as Northwest British Englishes and varieties of Canadian French. Ultimately, the contributions serve to expand our understanding of the nature of the mental representations and abstract processes required to support variation in language"--Provided by publisher.Benjamins current topics ;Volume 97.1874-0081Language and languagesVariationLanguage and languagesVariation.417Tamminga MeredithMacKenzie LaurelLignos ConstantineMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910793034703321The locus of linguistic variation3683873UNINA
