Reduction of Survey Sites in Dialectology: A New Methodology Based on Clustering. [PDF]
Front Artif Intell, 2021 Many language change studies aim for a partial revisitation, i.e., selecting survey sites from previous dialect studies. The central issue of survey site reduction, however, has often been addressed only qualitatively.

Global Syntactic Variation in Seven Languages: Toward a Computational Dialectology. [PDF]
Front Artif Intell, 2019 The goal of this paper is to provide a complete representation of regional linguistic variation on a global scale. To this end, the paper focuses on removing three constraints that have previously limited work within dialectology/dialectometry. First, rather than assuming a fixed and incomplete set of variants, we use Computational Construction Grammar

Dialectology for Computational Linguists [PDF]
Similar Languages, Varieties, and Dialects, 2021 This paper provides an overview of computational work in dialectology. Wehave published similar surveys in the not-too-distant past (Heeringa and Prokic,2018; Wieling and Nerbonne, 2015), but these were aimed at dialectologists andgeneral linguists, respectively.

Dialectology and Linguistic Geography [PDF]
The Oxford Handbook of African Languages, 2020 AbstractThis chapter discusses linguistic divergence and convergence processes from a dialectological and areal viewpoint so as to better understand the challenges that defining Africa’s linguistic macro- and micro-profile presents. The dialectology part focuses on a case study of dialectometry classification founded on Berber geolinguistic data ...

A Neural Model for User Geolocation and Lexical Dialectology [PDF]
arXiv, 2017 We propose a simple yet effective text- based user geolocation model based on a neural network with one hidden layer, which achieves state of the art performance over three Twitter benchmark geolocation datasets, in addition to producing word and phrase embeddings in the hidden layer that we show to be useful for detecting dialectal terms.

Continuous Representation of Location for Geolocation and Lexical Dialectology using Mixture Density Networks [PDF]
arXiv, 2017 We propose a method for embedding two-dimensional locations in a continuous vector space using a neural network-based model incorporating mixtures of Gaussian distributions, presenting two model variants for text-based geolocation and lexical dialectology.

ON THE TEACHING OF UZBEK DIALECTOLOGY AND METHODOLOGY OF RESEARCH IN THIS FIELD
, 2021 The problems of Uzbek dialectology in the period from the 1920s to the 1980s were not strictly regulated. The reason for writing this article is that while we are talking about the theory and practice of dialectology in other languages, we are only ...

Computational dialectology in Irish Gaelic [PDF]
arXiv, 1995 Dialect groupings can be discovered objectively and automatically by cluster analysis of phonetic transcriptions such as those found in a linguistic atlas. The first step in the analysis, the computation of linguistic distance between each pair of sites, can be computed as Levenshtein distance between phonetic strings.

‘Proper’ pro-nun-ʃha-ʃhun1 in Eighteenth-Century English: ECEP as a New Tool for the Study of Historical Phonology and Dialectology [PDF]
Digital Scholarship in the Humanities, 2017 English historical linguists have often complained about the scholarly neglect of the phonology of the Late Modern English period; yet, the value of pronouncing dictionaries as rich and reliable evidence has been demonstrated (Beal, J.
