چکیده
10 Dialectology is one of the sub-disciplines in the humanities that embraced digital techniques early on. The use of computational and quantitative techniques in dialectology is known as ‘dialectometry’. The present collection of articles contain several which proudly continue working within dialectometry’s usual assumptions and toward its established goals, honing existing techniques, and experi-

Corpus-based Dialectometry: Aggregate Morphosyntactic Variability in British English Dialects
The research reported in this paper departs from most previous work in dialectometry in several ways. Empirically, it draws on frequency vectors derived from naturalistic corpus data and not on discrete atlas classifications. Linguistically, it is concerned with morphosyntactic (as opposed to lexical or pronunciational) variability. Methodologically, it marries the careful analysis of dialect p...
متن کاملAnalyzing Dialects Biologically
This paper sketches some parallels in analyzing linguistic and biological data, emphasizing how methods taken from biology have been applied in dialectometry. We also present a technique developed specifically for detecting distinctive properties in (putative) groups of linguistic varieties (species) as this illustrates how the linguistic enterprise perhaps differs from the biological one.
متن کاملProgress in Dialectometry: Toward Explanation
Dialectometric techniques analyze linguistic variation quantitatively, allowing one to aggregate over what are frequently rebarbative geographic patterns of individual linguistic variants, such as which word is used for a particular concept in a language area, or which sounds are used in particular words. This leads to general formulations of the relation between linguistic variation and explan...
متن کاملComputational analysis of Gondi dialects
This paper presents a computational analysis of Gondi dialects spoken in central India. We present a digitized data set of the dialect area, and analyze the data using different techniques from dialectometry, deep learning, and computational biology. We show that the methods largely agree with each other and with the earlier non-computational analyses of the language group.
متن کاملDealing with ‘non-geographic’ lexical heterogeneity when deriving dialect maps from lexical data
In dialectometry several approaches exist to automatically generate dialect maps on the basis of calculated dissimilarities between locations (using survey data). Examples for Dutch are Heeringa (2004), who calculates dialect maps on the basis of aggregated phonetic dissimilarities, and Spruit (2008), who calculates dialect maps on the basis of aggregated syntactic dissimilarities. In both exam...
