“…Talkers exhibit individual variability at just about any linguistic level investigated –including, for example, pronunciation (e.g., Allen, Miller, & DeSteno, 2003; Bauer, 1985; Harrington, Palethorpe, & Watson, 2000; Yaeger-Dror, 1994), lexical preferences (e.g., Finegan & Biber, 2001; Roland, Dick, & Elman, 2007; Tagliamonte & Smith, 2005), and syntactic preferences (e.g., the frequency with which they use passives, Weiner & Labov, 1983). Therefore, talkers are also likely to differ in how they use quantifiers.…”

“…In addition to unfamiliar accents and talkers, listeners must adapt to global shifts in the phonetic characteristics of their own dialect community over time (Labov, 1994). Although some aspects of language change undoubtedly arise when children acquire a linguistic system that differs slightly from that of the previous generation (Senghas & Coppola, 2001;Singleton & Newport, 2004;Slobin, 1977), language change has also been documented within individual talkers, indicating that it is not strictly an intergenerational process (Bauer, 1985;Harrington, Palethorpe, & Watson, 2000;Yaeger-Dror, 1994). Furthermore, this change can be rapidly effected within a single talker on the basis of short-term exposure to phonetically different input: Sancier and Fowler (1997) found that a Portuguese-English bilingual's pronunciation in each language was altered after 6 months in a monolingual (Portuguese or English) setting.…”

“…In other cases, researchers have conducted longitudinal studies that focus on the consistency or inconsistency of individuals’ linguistic behavior over time and, therefore, that address the validity of the Apparent‐Time Construct's foundational assumption of vernacular stability. For Montréal French, and all working on the basis of the same corpora, see Blondeau (2001); Sankoff, Blondeau, and Charity (2001); Sankoff and Wagner (2006); Thibault and Daveluy (1989); Yaeger‐Dror (1994); among others. For speakers of diverse varieties of English, see Baugh (1996); Bowie (2005); Cukor‐Avila (2002); Harrington (2006, 2007); among others.…”
