The aim of this article is to draw attention to the problems related to lexical marking of dialects. Contemporary dialectology is characterized by reflecting on what has been done and setting new ...tasks, searching for new methods and approaches. The notion of 'diagnostic dialect markers' is the main one in the modern field of dialect studies. It is related to the typical and original features of a dialect that are obvious to speakers of other dialects or literary languages, on the basis of which the speech can be relatively accurately identified and localized for dialectology and subsequently for the history of the language Most often diagnostic features belong to the category of localisms (features typical of a territorially limited region or a village), but it is also possible to typify a large formation (a group of dialects) through them. In the article the lexical markers of Ukrainian Bulgarian dialect types are presented.
This study aims to identify the form of the social character of the interpersonal affect and the phonological features of the dialectology of the presenter and informants in the Talk Show Mata Najwa ...On Stage "Semua Karena Ahok". This research is a qualitative descriptive study using a functional linguistic approach. Sources of data from this study were obtained from conversations conducted by Najwa Shihab and Basuki Tjahaja Purnama (Ahok). The results of the research on the Talk Show Mata Najwa on Stage episode "Semua Karena Ahok" show: 1) there are six forms of social characters with interpersonal effects, namely: trustworthiness, fairness, caring, respect, citizenship, responsibility. All the six characters were found in Najwa and Ahok. It could be seen from everything that was done on the Talk Show Mata Najwa On Stage "Semua Karena Ahok". Positive affect could be seen with words, phrases and sentences that showed the social character of the positive interpersonal effects they have. The assessment that showed a positive character could be seen from the intensity carried out by Najwa and Ahok. Najwa Shihab and Ahok's intensity is often proven by the many conversations shown. 2) there are dialects which were influenced by regional languages based on dialectological phonological characteristics, among others: Seribu: vowel phoneme /i/ becomes e= Serebu. Ribu: vowel phoneme /i/ becomes e= Rebu. Ramai: vowel phoneme /a/ becomes e and release of consonant phonemes= Rame. Kita: vowel phoneme /i/ becomes e= Kite. Iya: vowel phoneme /i/ becomes e= Iye
In this study, the usage of the present tense suffix, which is one of the criteria frequently used by dialectological researchers in the determination and classification of dialect areas, was ...evaluated in Gagauz Turkic and the main dialect areas and sub-dialect groups of Gagauz Turkic were classified according to this criterion. In order to obtain data on the usage patterns of the present tense suffix based on the classification, compilations were made from the Gagauzia Autonomous Region of the Republic of Moldova, Odessa of Ukraine, Evros of Greece, Varna and Dobrich regions of Northeastern Bulgaria, where Gagauz Turks, who continue to exist in different dialectal areas today, live intensively, source texts were created with the transcription technique based on the compilations, and these texts were deciphered and the compiled dialectal materials were examined in detail. Based on the data obtained as a result of the language analyses, the findings were interpreted, all dialect regions were evaluated independently, the place of these dialect regions within the dialects of Gagauz Turkic was determined according to the usage forms of the present tense suffix, and in cases where the present tense suffix was not sufficient as a criterion, other criteria were applied and the main dialect areas and sub-dialect groups of Gagauz Turkic were tried to be classified. At the end of the study, the main dialectal areas and sub-dialectal groups of Gagauz Turkic were analysed according to the use of the present tense suffix in a way that can be a source for the language atlas studies to be prepared in the future.
Dialect data can basically be collected in two different ways: Either through direct or personal contact with the dialect speaker or indirectly from afar. Traditionally, the latter was done by ...sending out questionnaires. Thanks to the Internet, it is now possible to break new ground with indirect data collection using the so-called crowdsourcing method, through which the speaker is also much more involved in data collection.

The both familiar and quite different aspect of the Occitan dialects can lead us to ask : "what makes the unity of this language?". Its current linguistic definition clearly explains its proximity to ...catalan, with which it forms an original subgroup of romance languages. But the features that specifically characterize the Occitan language are often not clearly presented. In this article we try to identify the features that make Occitan appear as a coherent and particular linguistic area, limiting ourself to phonetics and lexical aspects. We map these elements using data from all the linguistic atlases concerning the Occitan-speaking space and its surroundings. Establishing this knowledge about the unity and particularity of the Langue d'oc drives us to discuss our perception of this language and its variation, especially as actors in its revitalization.
This paper aims to describe Luigi Heilmann’s structural point of view. A philologist and linguist, a specialist in Indology, Semitistics, and Romance dialectology, he subscribed to the Prague School ...functional perspective and put his structural method in continuity with the comparative-historical method. Heilmann was open to scientific dialogue, also from an interdisciplinary perspective which he based on two principles: a generative humanitas and an interpretative structure.
Abstract
The present study analyzes the transformation of the vowel system and especially the process of vowel mergers based on the Latin inscriptions of the Gallic and Germanic provinces. With the ...help of the Computerized Historical Linguistic Database of the Latin Inscriptions of the Imperial Age (
http://lldb.elte.hu/
), it tries to draw and then compare the phonological profiles of the selected provinces and to describe the dialectal position of Gaul and the Germanic provinces regarding vocalism in three periods (AD 1–300, 301–500 and 501–700). The analysis, which also covers comparisons with certain provinces of Italy, Spain and Dalmatia, is carried out considering four aspects: the ratio of vocalic versus consonantal changes, the ratio of vowel mergers compared to vocalic changes, the ratio of
e-i
and
o-u
mergers compared to each other, and the ratio of vowel mergers by stressed and unstressed syllable. As a result of the present study, it was revealed that Gallic provinces cannot be treated as a unit or as clearly separate from the other areas studied according to either aspect of the study, especially not in the early, pre-Christian period. Gallic provinces appear to behave in the same or a levelled manner at most in the later and/or latest periods. The Germanic provinces, especially Germania Superior, have, albeit with some delay, adapted to the Gallic provinces in their late development. The present study, which continued József Herman's research, managed to explore the hitherto little-known linguistic and dialectological features of Latin in the Gallic and Germanic provinces.
The language aspect in cultural preservation focuses more on the arts and social systems. In fact, language as a connecting medium for arts and social systems also needs to be preserved. In this ...regard, this study seeks to language use documentation of the Mentawai language in the Mentawai Islands Regency, specifically in dialect varieties. It is intended to find out the situation and condition of the language, make language maps, and determine the varieties of the Mentawai language in the Mentawai Islands Regency. The research data were taken from 200 Swadesh’s basic vocabularies and 200 cultural vocabularies by means of direct interviews. Comparison of research data is based on seven observation areas, namely Mongan Poula, Maileppet, Muntei, Madobag, Sioban, Matobe, and Makalo villages. This study uses a dialectological approach with quantitative and qualitative methods. In this case, the quantitative method is in the form of dialectometric calculations, while the qualitative method is a description of the situation and conditions of the Mentawai language according to the language map. As a result, the Mentawai language in the Mentawai Islands Regency has two dialects, namely, the Sipora Pagai dialect and Siberut dialect. All two have a dialectometric percentage of 51—80%.
To the present day, the classification of Finnish dialects has largely observed a division into Western and Eastern dialects. The first grouping of all dialects was undertaken by Lauri Kettunen ...(1930, 1940). His classification contained ten groups and four mixed dialect groups, as well as 45 subdialects and 71 varieties. Later researchers – Martti Rapola (1947), Terho Itkonen (1964, 1989), and Heikki Paunonen (1991, 2006) – have simplified this division. Paunonen's (1991) classification, like the earlier ones, is an example of isoglottic dialectology, but his 2006 proposal is strongly based on a structuralist analysis. Kalevi Wiik (2004) applied quantitative methods to Kettunen's (1940) dialect atlas, while Marjatta Palander (2011) studied non-linguists' conceptions of regional dialects within the framework of perceptual dialectology. In general, classifications of Finnish dialects are mainly based on phonological features. Morphological and lexical features are used less, and syntactic criteria are seldomly used.
