Toward an Anthropology of Computer-Mediated, Algorithmic Forms of Sociality (2013, background): “…the context of which agentive individuals are conceptualized not only as sets of distinct styles but also as techniques of generating styles in real time (see Bakhtin 1981; Eckert and Rickford 2002; Goffman 1981),arealsolimited in their capacity to account for these new technological developments.”
Data Statements for Natural Language Processing: Toward Mitigating System Bias and Enabling Better Science (2018, background): “S PEAKER D EMOGRAPHIC Sociolinguis-tics has found that variation (in pronunciation, prosody, word choice, and grammar) correlates with speaker demographic characteristics (Labov, 1966), as speakers use linguistic variation to construct and project identities (Eckert and Rickford, 2001).”

Local’s…”
Reusable Templates and Guides For Documenting Datasets and Models for Natural Language Processing and Generation: A Case Study of the HuggingFace and GEM Data and Model Cards (2021, background): “Language conveys information about not only the individual producing the language, but also about the social groups that individual is a member of and social context that the individual is producing the language in (Eckert and Rickford, 2001).”
