Lalo regional varieties: phylogeny, dialectometry, and sociolinguistics

Current Trends in Dialectometry: The Handling of Synonym Feature Realizations

Studies in Classification, Data Analysis, and Knowledge Organization, 1997
Dialectometry has to deal to a certain extent with synonym feature realizations on the nominal scale. Generating a similarity matrix out of these data outlines some fundamental problems in handling synonyms. Apart from a general discussion of possible approaches, this paper describes all similarity indexes actually used in dialectometry, which include ...

Automatic Validation of Hierarchical Cluster Analysis with Application in Dialectometry

2005
Successful applications of hierarchical cluster analysis in the area of quantitative linguistics were reported in the pioneering works by Goebl (1982, 1984, 1994). Often the dimensionality of linguistic data is high. Therefore multivariate statistical techniques like cluster analysis can to some degree support the researcher. However there is much room

Dialectometry in the Romance Languages: The Salzburg School

This article describes, after brief references to other methodological traditions, the dialectometric methods used in Salzburg for the global processing of mass data stored in linguistic atlases. The main goal is the discovery of deep structures hidden in these data and the quantitative patterns underlying them.
