摘　　要：变异社会语言学是社会语言学的一个主要分支,至20世纪末已在语言变项与社会变项之关系的研究方面取得重要进展,提出的言说者具有"能动性"理念发展了拉波夫关于语言与社会的"相关性"认识。进入21世纪,变异社会语言学对言说者语言风格的研究取得新的成果,在研究对象方面进一步细化语言变项和社会变项,在研究方法方面进一步提倡质性研究。本文对这些新发展进行梳理和讨论,初步归纳其特征,认为变异社会语言学在21世纪前20年的发展强调了语言变异的建构性和进行变异研究的跨学科性,同时也通过提出新的工具性概念突显了对语言变异的理论阐释。Variationist sociolinguistics is a main branch of sociolinguistics, and by the end of 20th century it had already seen a development from Labov’s conceptualization of“correlation”to the conceptualization of“agency”between linguistic variables and social variables. In the first 20 years of the 21 stcentury, variationist sociolinguistics advances further in that(1) it witnesses more researches that provide insightful account for speaker’s stylistic practice,(2) it expands the range of research objects in terms of linguistic and social variables, and(3) it applies more qualitative analysis in case studies. This article discusses these new achievements so as to understand the characteristics of this new development, which are tentatively summarized as(1) emphasizing the constitutive role of variation,(2) advocating a transdisciplinary effort on variation studies, and(3) highlighting theoretical account by applying various conceptual tools.
