A special issue of Linguistic Variation (17:2) has just been published, on Register Variation and Syntactic Theory, edited by Diane Massam (Professor Emeritus) and Tim Stowell (MA: 1977, now at UCLA). It includes an introduction by Tim and Diane, and a paper co-authored by Diane and two of our PhD students Kazuya Bamba and Patrick Murphy. The volume includes papers on the syntax used in special registers such as diaries, text messages, newspaper headlines, and recipes, across a range of languages.
