2022 A text typology of social media Register and social media, Clarke, Isobelle and Jack Grieve (eds.), pp. 138–170 | Article
This paper introduces an initial text typology of social media posts from a multi-dimensional (MD) perspective. Text types are “[g]roupings of text that are similar in their linguistic form” (Biber 1989: 13). This text typology is based on a new MD analysis of social media messages presented in… read more

A corpus of textbooks and research articles from Social, Behavioral and Economic Sciences, containing 10.6 million words across… read more
2019 Dimensions of variation across American television registers International Journal of Corpus Linguistics 24:1, pp. 3–32 | Article
The goal of this study is to identify the dimensions of variation across American television programs, following the multidimensional analysis (MD) framework introduced by Biber (1988). Although television is a major form of mass communication, there has been no previous large-scale MD study of… read more
2018 Dimensions of variation across Internet registers International Journal of Corpus Linguistics 23:2, pp. 125–157 | Article
This paper presents a study that sought to identify the dimensions of variation underlying a corpus of Internet texts, using Biber’s (1988) multi-dimensional (MD) analysis framework. The corpus was compiled following the method proposed by Biber (1993), according to which the size of each… read more
2017 Lexical priming and register variation Lexical Priming: Applications and advances, Pace-Sigge, Michael and Katie J. Patterson (eds.), pp. 189–229 | Chapter
Lexical priming predicts that repeated encounters with lexical patterns will prime users for register awareness (Hoey 2013: 3344). To verify this prediction, this chapter reports on a study that determined the dimensions of collocation in American English, which are the parameters underlying the… read more
2015 Register variation and metaphor use: A multi-dimensional perspective Metaphor in Specialist Discourse, Herrmann, J. Berenike and Tony Berber Sardinha (eds.), pp. 17–52 | Article
One of the consistent findings in the literature from a corpus-based perspective

this chapter is to verify to what extent the variation in metaphor use is systematic
in English, from a Multi-Dimensional perspective.… read more
