A Measure for Linguistic Coherence in Spatial Language Variation

Abstract

Based on historical dialect data we introduce a local measure of linguistic coherence in spatial language variation aiming at the identification of regions which are particularly sensitive to language variation and change.Besides, we use a measure of global coherence for the automated detection of linguistic items (e.g., sounds or morphemes) with higher or lesser language variation.The paper describes both the data and the method and provides analyses examples.
