요약The foundations of variationist sociolinguistics lie in the study of changes in progress, examining why they spread faster among some groups than others. But the tendency to track changes one-by-one, as if they all have social lives of their own, misses the ways they enter into styles as they course through a community. In this dissertation, I argue that to understand the social motivations of a linguistic change, we have to understand its sociolinguistic relation to the other changes that occur alongside it.The empirical core of the dissertation is an examination of 8 ongoing changes in progress in Sacramento English, covering shifts in vowel quality, fricative production, voice quality, and discourse-pragmatics. Given that styles are "clusters" of linguistic forms, I examine how linguistic changes "cluster" together at the community-level as they spread, focusing in particular on patterns of interspeaker covariation (i.e., the extent to which speakers' productions of one linguistic change predicts their productions of others). I find that the relations among linguistic changes shift in apparent time, and that younger speakers show more robust covariation than older speakers. The emergent covariation among younger speakers is connected, in part, to the ways they orient to social life in Sacramento and California more broadly. I tie the restructuring of linguistic change in Sacramento to what I call stylistic coalescence, the process by which the relations among linguistic forms become socially meaningful. Central to stylistic coalescence is the growth and accrual of new indexical meanings over time. And as a function of these new meanings, linguistic forms can enter into new structured arrangements as they spread, which I argue are stylistic at their core. Several implications follow from these findings. First, while linguistic change is often seen as a change in form (or a change in the linguistic relations among forms, as in a phonological merger, for instance), I argue that it also involves shifts in the socio-indexical relations among forms. Second, I show that styles, while always changing, can be quite structured, capable of exhibiting cross-speaker regularities. And third, while patterns of interspeaker covariation are sometimes seen as a-stylistic, socially passive, and quite rigid, I show that they can be fluid and dynamic, and emergent through collective stylistic practice.
