Progress in Dialectometry: Toward Explanation
Literary and Linguistic Computing, 2006Dialectometric 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.

Introducing Computational Techniques in Dialectometry
Computers and the Humanities, 2003Dialectology is the study of dialects, and dialectometry is the measurement of dialect differences, i.e. linguistic differences whose distribution is determined primarily by geography. The earliest works in dialectology showed that language variation is complex both geographically and linguistically and cannot be reduced to simple characterizations ...

Recent Advances in Salzburg Dialectometry
Literary and Linguistic Computing, 2006This paper documents the many taxometric and cartographic achievements of the Salzburg school of dialectometry. The paper discusses the following topics: (1) problems of measurement of linguistic atlas data (with particular consideration of Romance linguistic atlases), (2) establishment of the data matrix, (3) choice of the similarity index (Relative ...

The Role of Concept Characteristics in Lexical Dialectometry
International Journal of Humanities and Arts Computing, 2008In this paper the role of concept characteristics in lexical dialectometric research is examined in three consecutive logical steps. First, a regression analysis of data taken from a large lexical database of Limburgish dialects in Belgium and The Netherlands is conducted to illustrate that concept characteristics such as concept salience, concept ...

Corpus-based dialectometry: a methodological sketch
Corpora, 2011In this paper, I introduce methodologies to tap corpora for exploring aggregate linguistic distances between dialects or varieties as a function of properties of geographic space. The paper describes the different steps necessary to obtain an appropriate corpus-based dataset (a so-called ‘distance matrix’), and subsequently discusses several ...

Further Contributions to Romance Dialectometry
2023Jean Séguy and Hans Goebl were the founders both of Romance dialectometry and of dialectometry in general, which focused largely on Romance languages in its early years. While other attention to dialects had appealed to scholarly intuition to adduce the principles behind the geographic distribution of linguistic variation, dialectometry insisted on ...

Romance linguistic geography and dialectometry
2016Abstract This chapter focuses on the diachronic and synchronic relation between language and space, critically considering some of the most important advances made within Romance linguistic geography and dialectometry. It reviews the early work of the dialect geographers in recording regional variation by means of detailed linguistic ...
