Abstract
The book under review follows other research by Biber in the field of register variation (cf. Biber, 1988; Biber & Finegan, 1994). It further develops the thesis that multidmensional analysis of many different linguistic variables can help posit theoretical and conceptual primitives for the analysis of register. It also explores a corollary that the primitive for register variation in different languages can be productively compared.
