Reviews

Lange's book is highly recommendable for anybody interested in variational linguistics in general and the development of IndE in particular. It shows how the use of frequently neglected sociolinguistic speaker profiles contained in ICE corpora can add to the discussion of variational development, even if the author does not make full use of these additional data. Furthermore, the focus on spoken discourse organization with its repercussions on the developing norms and standards of IndE make it unique within the body of literature on IndE, which has all too frequently focused on lexical innovations or has mainly dealt with written data.
