    Abstract

    The present study shows that Variation in the composition of the lexicon at tokenlevel between more and less formal oral styles is identical to the Variation between written and oral discourse. It is argued here that Speakers deictically anchor their utterances in a non-linguistic spatio-temporal context and that the degree of contextdependence is reflected in the composition of the lexicon. More informal styles will be characterised by a higher proportion of pronouns, verbs and adverbs which are deictal words par excellence. An analysis of advanced French interlanguage data revealed an amount of interindividual Variation that correlates with the subject's degree of extraversion.
