'I would definitely recommend this volume, since in most of the studies the analysis of discourse variation and change is not limited to the simple description of data but goes beyond that by contrasting findings obtained through different complementary methods and tools, and by moving from empirical evidence to linguistic theory. The book, then, is a valuable contribution to research into discourse-pragmatic variation and change in the many facets of the field; indeed, some of the chapters might well be seen as models of rigour and academic professionalism for junior scholars.'
