Abstract:

Topics in Dialectal Variation concentrates on studies that represent newmethodological solutions to, or fresh perspectives into, the study oflinguistic variation. The papers range from new applications of diffusionstudies, through perceptual dialectology and folk linguistics, toinnovative methods used in statistical linguistics and language technology.Problems of language planning are also discussed, and some of the studiespresented here make use of theoretical and methodological approaches ofneighbouring disciplines ending up with cross-disciplinary applications.
