Each chapter reviews essential research, and offers a critical discussion of the past, present and future development of the area. The volume is based on state-of-the-art research in dialectology around the world, providing the most current work available with an unusually broad scope of topics. It provides a practical guide to the many methodological and statistical issues surrounding the collection and analysis of dialect data; offers summaries of dialect variation in the world s most widely spoken and commonly studied languages, including several non-European languages that have traditionally received less attention in general discussions of dialectology; and reviews the intellectual development of the field, including its main theoretical schools of thought and research traditions, both academic and applied. The editors are well known and highly respected, with a deep knowledge of this vast field of inquiry UR - https://eresourcesptsl.ukm.remotexs.co/user/login?url=https://doi.org/10.1002/9781118827628 ER -
