The Dimensionality of Grammatical Variation
Recent approaches to variability have focused on the rank ordering of linguistic objects (e.g. noun-phrase transformations, environments of phonological reduction rules) or sociolinguistic objects (e.g. speakers, speech communities). These one-dimensional orderings can take various forms, such as implicational scales, squishes, or the ranking of variable constraints. It is suggested here that sometimes a higher dimensional configuration might bet…
Variable Rules: Performance as a Statistical Reflection of Competence
Speech performances are here considered as statistical samples drawn from a probabilistic language competence. This competence is modeled in conventional generative terms, except that optional rules are assigned application probabilities as functions of the structure of the input strings, possibly depending on the extralinguistic environment as well. We develop the mathematical background for these variable rules, which were introduced by Labov, …
Sociolinguistic research on French in Montréal
This brief note describes a study of Montréal French presently being conducted by a group based at the Université de Montréal, and directed by Gillian Sankoff and Henrietta Cedergren. A pilot project, carried out during June, July and August of 1970, and made possible by a grant from the Ministère de l'Education (Québec), enabled us to make a series of recordings which were studied in order to identify speech variables, as well as invariant diale…
