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 ...

Lalo regional varieties: phylogeny, dialectometry, and sociolinguistics
, 2023 Lalo is a Central Ngwi (Loloish) language cluster spoken in western Yunnan, China by fewer than 300,000 speakers. The purpose of this thesis is to subgroup Lalo regional varieties according to shared innovations that are unlikely to have occurred by chance, contact, or drift.

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 ...

Automatic Validation of Hierarchical Cluster Analysis with Application in Dialectometry
2005Successful 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

Current Trends in Dialectometry: The Handling of Synonym Feature Realizations
Studies in Classification, Data Analysis, and Knowledge Organization, 1997Dialectometry 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 ...

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.
