This volume fosters the field of 'variational text linguistics'. Its focus on both functional and regional types of textual variation provides new insights into the concept of 'register'. The book is a forum for the description and discussion of registers which have not received enough linguistic attention so far. The studies collected point out emerging trends as well as new directions for future research.
