Contents:
Frontmatter -- Contents -- Introduction -- What Is Intra-individual Variation in Language? -- Part I: Phonetic-phonological dimension -- Everyone Is Different, So Everyone Is the Same – Intra-individual Variation in Second Language Acquisition -- Situational Effects on Intra-individual Variation in German – Reflexes of Middle High German ei in Austrian Speech Repertoires -- Linguistic, Social, and Individual Factors Constraining Variation in Spoken Swiss Standard German -- Part II: Syntactic-morphological dimension -- Intra-individual Variation in Nominal Inflection: Analyses of Directly Elicited Data of the Bavarian Linguistic Atlas -- Intra-individual Variation in Morphosyntax: A Constraint-based Perspective -- Inter- and Intra-individual Variation in Luxembourgish. A Quantitative Analysis of Crowd-sourced Speech Data -- Part III: Historical dimension -- Of Zibele and Bölle: Patterns of Language Variation in the Swiss Language Island New Glarus (North America) -- Intra-individual Variation in Nineteenth-century Private Letters -- Intra-individual Variation from a Historical Perspective: Towards a Usage-based Model of Constructional Change and Variation -- How many Natives with how many Systems? Intra-individual Variation and the Threshold of Multilingualism in Standard German Speakers -- Index
Summary: This volume offers several empirical, methodological, and theoretical approaches to the study of observable variation within individuals on various linguistic levels. With a focus on German varieties, the chapters provide answers on the following questions (inter alia):Which linguistic and extra-linguistic factors explain intra-individual variation? Is there observable intra-individual variation that cannot be explained by linguistic and extra-linguistic factors? Can group-level results be generalised to individual language usage and vice versa? Is intra-individual variation indicative of actual patterns of language change? How can intra-individual variation be examined in historical data?Consequently, the various theoretical, methodological and empirical approaches in this volume offer a better understanding of the meaning of intra-individual variation for patterns of language development, language variation and change.The inter- and transdisciplinary nature of the volume is an exciting new frontier, and the results of the studies in this book provide a wealth of new findings as well as challenges to some of the existing findings and assumptions regarding the nature of intra-individual variation.
