Probabilistic grammars: Syntactic variation in a comparative perspective

This special issue brings together current work situated at the crossroads of research on usage-based theoretical linguistics, variationist linguistics, and cognitive sociolinguistics to explore the scope and limits of grammatical variation among and within language users from a comparative, probabilistic perspective.
