Abstract

Emerging Social Meaning

• Eckert (2016): sociolinguistic variation is not just a consequence of social change but helps contribute to it.
• Such changes become enregistered and are linked to groups or personae.
• Fractal recursivity (Irvine & Gal 2000) may contribute to the beginnings of such differences (e.g. Zhang 2021).
