PDF	Abstract (PDF, 14 KB)
Summary / Zusammenfassung	Using evidence from rigorously controlled sociophonetic experiments, on the one hand, and qualitative data (questionnaires and discursive identity construction in interviews), this project aims to address a shortcoming of previous sociolinguistic studies, namely to bring quantitative and qualitative approaches together. “The fact that it is relatively rare for discourse studies of identity to have an explicitly variationist focus points to a lacuna, with great potential for future research” (Mendoza-Denton, 2002: 490).
