Abstract

This chapter highlights three crucial theories in examining language variation: the social class theory, the social networks theory, and the third wave approach to variation studies. It first sheds light on methods used in quantitative variation research and problems related to them. Then it concentrates on specific variables that trigger language variation and change, followed by a discussion of diglossia and levelling.
