Diaphasic variation refers to the differences in language use that occur based on the social context, including factors such as the speaker's relationship to the audience, the setting, and the purpose of communication. It encompasses variations in style, tone, and formality within a language.

Key research themes

1. How do frequency measures of linguistic units influence the modeling of diaphasic variation in morphologically complex words?

This research area investigates the critical role of frequency information—whether measured at the whole-word, stem, or conditional level—in shaping phonological and morphological variation observed in language use, especially in the deletion phenomena affecting coronal stops in dialects of English. Understanding which frequency measures best predict variation informs theoretical distinctions between grammar-internal representations and the influence of online processing mechanisms in diaphasic variation.

Key finding: Through large-scale corpus analysis of Coronal Stop Deletion in Philadelphia English, this study finds that whole-word frequency, stem frequency, and conditional frequency measures each exert distinct effects on probabilistic... Read more

2. What insights do fluctuating asymmetry studies offer into morphological trait variability relevant to diaphasic variation?

Studies of fluctuating asymmetry (FA), which capture random deviations from perfect bilateral symmetry, provide a framework for understanding developmental instability and its manifestations in morphological traits. The variability and discordance of FA across traits have implications for modeling individual and population-level differences in linguistic expression, where parallel concepts of variability and instability affect diaphasic patterns.

Key finding: By analyzing 18 natural marine and aquatic populations, the study demonstrates a uniformly negative relationship between standardized FA and mean trait values across multiple morphological traits, revealing discordance of FA... Read more
Key finding: By integrating side counts and the threshold model for nonmetric trait analysis, this study reestablishes methodological rigor in estimating trait asymmetry and penetrance rates. It shows that using both sides of paired... Read more
Key finding: This work consolidates approaches that use within-subject and between-subject biological variation to set analytical quality specifications and assess significance of serial measurements, emphasizing improved reliability in... Read more

3. What are the methodological challenges in measuring variability and genetic variance relevant to understanding diaphasic variation?

Quantitative and genetic variance estimation methods directly impact the understanding of phenotypic variability, including forms encountered in diaphasic linguistic variation. These challenges encompass assessing additive genetic variance and correlations, accommodating dimorphic traits, and mitigating biases related to fixed effects or small sample sizes. Addressing these challenges improves the fidelity of models explaining the genetic and environmental bases of diaphasic variation.

Key finding: The study rigorously demonstrates that treating morph or dimorphism solely as a fixed effect in quantitative genetic models underestimates additive genetic variance and heritability unless perfect genetic correlations exist... Read more
Key finding: Introducing distance standard deviation—a measure based on distance correlation—the study proposes a univariate, interpretable metric for quantifying variability in high-dimensional functional data. A permutation-based... Read more
Key finding: Analyzing several large datasets, this paper reveals that commonly used biophysical features underpinning in silico ΔΔG (folding stability) predictions show differential predictive power for destabilizing versus stabilizing... Read more
