Additive multidimensional analysis highlights variation in Brazilian federal statutory laws, suggesting insights into language use.
This article presents an additive Multidimensional (MD) analysis (Biber, 1998) of the LEX-BR-Ius (Ferrari; Marques, 2022), a corpus of Brazilian federal statutory laws. We first contextualize our research and, in sequence, introduce the MD approach. Subsequently, we present the corpus under study and the Brazilian Register Variation Corpus (Corpus Brasileiro de Variação de Registro - CBVR) (Berber Sardinha; Kauffmann; Acunzo, 2014), to which our corpus has been added, along with a step-by-step description of the methodology adopted. Lastly, we present and discuss the results obtained, the issues that emerged during the research, and their potential explanations.
