Short abstract
This workshop deals with the variationist modelling of register variation. The term register is used here to describe a variety of a language that is associated with particular functional or situational features, thus describing intra-speaker variation. Variation exists on each linguistic level (phonology, morphology, syntax, lexicon, etc.). We welcome variationist research on qualitative and quantitative aspects of synchronic and diachronic register variation.
