Dimensions of Register Variation: A Cross-Linguistic Comparison
The book extends and refines the research and methodology reported in the author’s ground-breaking Variation Across Speech and Writing, and adds for the first time a diachronic dimension. In it he gives a linguistic analysis of register in four widely differing languages: English, Nukulaelae Tuvaluan, Korean, and Somali. Striking similarities as well as differences emerge, allowing to predict for the first time cross-linguistic universals of register variation.
Covers topics in plane and solid (space) geometry. Also included are pictorial diagrams with thorough explanations on solving problems in congruence, parallelism, inequalities, similarities, triangles, circles, polygons, constructions, and coordinate/analytic geometry.
