This collection explores the themes of variation and convergence within dialectology and sociolinguistics. It begins with an analysis of historical linguistic relations in seventeenth-century Osnabrück, followed by a case study of convergence in the dialect of Constance, focusing on specific phonetic features. The work delves into sociophonology and examines the relationship between Swiss German dialects and Swiss Standard High German. A detailed interactional account of variable production in a Northern English accent is presented, alongside insights into how language learners perceive dialect and standard language divergence and convergence. The authors discuss the interplay of discourse and variation, highlighting the unique properties of Sicilian dialects through a case study of a specific speaker. The complexities of conversational microconvergences are analyzed, shedding light on the dialect-language conflict and contrasting evolutionary trends in modern Italy. The linguistic repertoire of the Old Order Amish in Delaware is examined, showcasing varieties and variation. Finally, the collection offers comparative remarks on standardization processes and linguistic repertoires across Africa and Europe, providing a comprehensive overview of the dynamic relationships between dialects and language standards.
