    Title: Analyzing Linguistic Variation: Statistical Models and Methods

    Publication Year: 2002 Publisher: CSLI Publications http://csli-publications.stanford.edu/ Author: John C. Paolillo

    Hardback: ISBN: 1575862751, Pages: 280, Price: $65.00 Paperback: ISBN: 157586276X, Pages: 280, Price: $25.00 Abstract: David Sankoff's VARBRUL computer program is widely used in analyzing linguistic variation in sociolinguistics, language acquisition, discourse, and other areas of linguistics, yet researchers have had to depend on hard-to-find publications and one-on-one training in order to learn how to use the program. For the first time, this comprehensive guide explains every aspect of this singularly useful computer program, from its most basic statistical foundations, to data collection, coding, and analysis techniques. This is written with researchers and students in the field of linguistics in mind and assumes no prior familiarity with statistics. Statistical and methodological issues are illustrated with examples of linguistic variation research, and their bearing on issues of theoretical consequence is thoroughly discussed. All quantitative areas of linguistics will benefit from this book's careful presentation of VARBRUL analysis and its relation to other statistical procedures used in the social sciences.
