Contents:
Frontmatter -- Table of contents -- Introduction. Advances in Cognitive Sociolinguistics -- Part one: Lexical and lexical-semantic variation -- Heterodox concept features and onomasiological heterogeneity in dialects -- Measuring and parameterizing lexical convergence and divergence between European and Brazilian Portuguese -- Awesome insights into semantic variation -- Applying word space models to sociolinguistics. Religion names before and after 9/11 -- Part two: Constructional variation -- The English genitive alternation in a cognitive sociolinguistics perspective -- (Not) acquiring grammatical gender in two varieties of Dutch -- Lectal variation in constructional semantics: “Benefactive” ditransitives in Dutch -- Part three: Variation of lectal awareness and attitudes -- Lectal acquisition and linguistic stereotype formation -- Investigations into the folk’s mental models of linguistic varieties -- A cognitive approach to quantitative sociolinguistic variation: Evidence from th-fronting in Central Scotland -- Backmatter
Summary: 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.
