Dialectality measurement: a research model for discussion.
Lietuvių kalba, 2023 The aim of this article is to propose a model for studying linguistic behavior and dialectality measurement for scientific discussion. To achieve the goal, the following tasks are set: 1) to briefly review and evaluate the previous studies on linguistic ...

Measuring Norwegian Dialect Distances Using Acoustic Features [PDF]
UC Berkeley Phonology Lab Annual Reports, 2005 Levenshtein distance has become a popular tool for measuring linguistic dialect distances, and has been applied to Irish Gaelic, Dutch, German and other dialect groups. The method, in the current state of the art, depends upon phonetic transcriptions, even when acoustic differences are used the number of segments in the transcriptions is used for ...

Dialectics and the Measure of the World [PDF]
Environment and Planning A: Economy and Space, 2008 This ‘afterword’ to the papers on dialectics situates the debate in the ground between Marxism and poststructuralism. Rather than a wholesale rejection of the dialectic, these authors attempt to think how poststructuralism might force an encounter with it, retaining yet transforming it.

Measuring Syntactic Variation in Dutch Dialects [PDF]
Literary and Linguistic Computing, 2006 This research applies dialectometric methods to purely syntactic dialect data. It will be shown that there is geographic cohesion in syntactic variation when viewed in the aggregate. The amount of syntactic variation which can be accounted for by geography will be determined.

Measuring Syntactic Distances between Dialects: A Web Application for Annotating Dialectal Data
Procedia Computer Science, 2014 AbstractResearch in dialectal variation allows linguists to understand the fundamental principles that underlie language systems and gram- matical changes in time and space. Since different dialectal variants do not occur randomly on the territory and geographical patterns of variation are recognizable for an individual syntactic form, we believe that ...

Measuring boundaries in the dialect continuum
, 2015 GIScience has only rarely dealt with linguistic data so far despite its challenging nature with many peculiarities that make analysing spatial language variation a worthwhile endeavour. The two commonly used paradigms in dialectology to deal with dialectal areas in space, the dialect continuum and isoglosses, respectively, correspond to the dichotomy ...

Applying a Normalized Compression Metric to the Measurement of Dialect Distance
Serdica Journal of Computing, 2007 The paper discusses the application of a similarity metric based on compression to the measurement of the distance among Bulgarian dia- lects. The similarity metric is de ned on the basis of the notion of Kolmogorov complexity of a le (or binary string). The application of Kolmogorov complexity in practice is not possible because its calculation over a

Adaptive string distance measures for bilingual dialect lexicon induction [PDF]
Proceedings of the 45th Annual Meeting of the ACL: Student Research Workshop on - ACL '07, 2007 This paper compares different measures of graphemic similarity applied to the task of bilingual lexicon induction between a Swiss German dialect and Standard German. The measures have been adapted to this particular language pair by training stochastic transducers with the Expectation-Maximisation algorithm or by using handmade transduction rules ...
