“…For example, social and stylistic patterns of variation have been found in the epistolary interaction of individuals, as well as self-monitoring based patterns of style-shifting, implying, presumably, that style-shifting happens along a continuum of informality versus formality, either because writers self-monitor their stylistic choices by producing more careful linguistic patterns, or in response to audience pressures (see Alexandropoulos, 2015;Auer, 2015;García-Vidal, 2023;Havinga, 2021;Hernández-Campoy, 2023;Hernández-Campoy & García-Vidal, 2018a,2018bHernández-Campoy et al, 2019;Schiegg, 2018Schiegg, , 2022Tieken-Boon van Ostade, 2005;Voeste, 2018;amongst others). Accounts of communities of practice have also been found in historical data.…”

situation which brought it into existence". Style had previously been defined and understood in a limited sense within the framework of first-and second-wave approaches to sociolinguistic variation and viewed as an ordinary characteristic alongside social aspects. This has brought about the distinction between inter-speaker (social) and intra-speaker (stylistic) variation (see Figure 2): "[t]he social dimension denotes differences between the

Lexis and semantics are under-researched fields both in contemporary and historical sociolinguistics. This paper focuses on intra-speaker variation in texts written by unroutined writers of the 19th century and examines different types of variation in the areas of lexis and semantics. Our data are taken from a new corpus of historical patients’ documents (see http://copadocs.de), which is currently being compiled as part of our research project “Flexible Writers in Language History”. In order to analyse lexical-semantic variation, we combine a number of different methods. An onomasiological approach is used to explore one writer’s linguistic repertoire and use of terms for women, while a structural approach allows us to compare functionally equivalent structures, such as routine formulae and expressions of a writer’s origo (e.g. I, here, now). Finally, we examine the use of emotional lexis in texts by writers diagnosed with melancholia, which is found to be more frequent as compared to a control group. Our findings provide evidence for considerable intra-speaker variation in lower-class writing. In addition, the emphasis on lexis is shown to have particular value for the investigation of patients’ texts, as this approach provides insights into the stylistic repertoires of historical writers which would otherwise remain hidden.
