        <div>
          Language variation presents one of the key research questions
          in linguistic inquiry. As I would argue in my talk, due to the
          empirical nature of linguistic variation it is best observed
          and studied via large language corpora. Furthermore, to study
          language variation means not only to enumerate its
          manifestations, but to take into consideration the function it
          plays on different linguistic levels. With most of the
          functions of language variation being employed at the textual
          level, it seems important to focus specifically on variation
          of texts. This research framework was coined more than 30
          years ago by Douglas Biber in his seminal work on
          multi-dimensional analysis (MDA) of register variability.<br>
          In my talk I will focus mainly on the issues and challenges of
          the study of language variation in Czech, the first Slavic
          language with a full-blown analysis of this kind. Apart from
          charting the space of variation of texts in Czech I will
          briefly discuss also some of the applications of the
          multi-dimensional model.<br>
