The volume reflects on the questions of whether patterns of variation diverge or converge and to what extent catalysts for change are shared in time and space. Chapters look at different factors in grammatical variation at both the macro and micro level, investigating specific linguistic and grammatical features but also at wider phenomena in contact linguistics, social patterns, social networks, and media-based corpora. Chapters progress from the local to the global, all with an eye towards using the latest methodological approaches from corpus linguistics to shed light on the affordances of data-informed methods to study grammatical change and the possibilities for future research.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis book will be of interest to students and scholars in sociolinguistics, corpus linguistics, and World Englishes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Paula Rautionaho\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1032130369\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781032130361\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/30\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 220\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.07lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.56d","brand":"Paula Rautionaho","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44070909640959,"sku":"9781032130361","price":170.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_bb7eadc6-cfc0-4da6-ad81-5dd09641e26b.jpg?v=1685433042","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/social-and-regional-variation-in-paula-rautionaho-9781032130361","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
