DESCRIPTION:Linguistic variation resulting from differences in register is
  relatively easy to detect in periods for which there are extremely large 
 corpora of texts whose context is well understood\; however\, in periods w
 hen the corpora for a given language is more restricted\, identifying the 
 factors responsible for observed variation can be more difficult. The focu
 s of this talk will be on morphosyntactic variation and the empirical issu
 es involved in determining its nature\, and in particular on certain types
  of variation occurring in Old English.
