Dialectology for Computational Linguists [PDF]
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]
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 ...

Reduction of Survey Sites in Dialectology: A New Methodology Based on Clustering. [PDF]
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.

Cardiomyocyte-Specific Deletion of Sirtuin 5 Accelerates the Development of Heart Failure Upon Dysregulating Purine Metabolism. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Aim Sirtuin 5 (SIRT5), a mitochondrial NAD+‐dependent deacylase, regulates fundamental cellular pathways, including energy substrate metabolism. The current study is designed to better elucidate the role of SIRT5 in the development of heart failure (HF). Methods Mice with cardiomyocyte‐specific deletion (cSirt5−/−) or overexpression (cSirt5‐Tg)

JACDI: WS-SF: A Short-Form Version of the Saudi Arabic Communicative Development Inventory. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Purpose This study addresses the lack of a short Communicative Development Inventory (CDI) form tailored to Saudi Arabic, specifically designed based on local norms, for assessing early communicative skills in toddlers. The JISH Arabic CDI: Words and Sentences Short‐Form (JACDI: WS‐SF) is introduced to meet this need. This tool is particularly

Global Syntactic Variation in Seven Languages: Toward a Computational Dialectology. [PDF]
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.

Social factors in accent recognition: a large-scale study in perceptual dialectology
This perceptual-dialectology study investigates how listener-related social factors impact the geographical recognition of regional accents. In contrast to much prior research on English, our focus is on Dutch, which lends itself well to our study ...

From perceptual dialectology to perceptual multilingualism: a Hong Kong case study
This paper proposes perceptual multilingualism as a research interest within the broader folk linguistic enterprise. By drawing on the geolinguistic mapping tasks popular in perceptual dialectology – whereby participants are asked to draw and depict ...
