Our latest paper on tonal dialectometry is out! We explored: 1) whether tonal variation forms a geographical dialect continuum & 2) to what extent is tonal variation correlated with segmental correlation. You can find our paper here: mdpi.com/2226-471X/9/12/378 @j_prokic

Exploring Tonal Variation Using Dialect Tonometry

Most research on dialectometry so far primarily focuses on European languages. Within these studies, analyses on the phonetic level predominantly focus on segments. A lack of studies on languages...

It was a pleasure to be invited by Prof. Bit-Chee Kwok to give a talk at CUHK! I had a great time sharing my PhD research with many like-minded scholars and I enjoyed tge exchange during the Q&A and after the talk a lot~

ちょうど鳥羽水に来ていたので、この記事を読んでメイちゃんママにもご挨拶。ポテトさんは亡くなった子をしばらく離さなくて大変だったそう。乗せているのはその子なのかな😭 だからなのかメイちゃんのことは赤ちゃんじゃなくなってもお腹に乗せていたらしいです。 #鳥羽水族館 #ラッコ #ポテト #剥製

I was invited by the University of Amsterdam to give a talk on computational dialectology today at the ACLC Seminar. It was a pleasure to present there and I had a great time discussing issues in dialectology (on Yue, German, Italian) and methods. What a great day!

I am very happy to share that my dialectology/ dialectometry workshop series has ended on a high note! We went through some contemporary approaches around the world, incl. modern field methods, explanatory and tonal dialectometry, comparison of different linguistic levels etc.

Let's see when I will be able to give these workshops again in the near future~

Today, we looked at corpus-based approaches in dialectometry. I gave my students a variety of texts and asked them to come up with ways to compare dialects, followed by going through existing ways in doing corpus dialectometry, including works from @JWGrieve and my own.

My students gave some presentations on their data exploration project on Irish, Korean and Kyushu Japanese (gratitudes to the people who shared their data with me for my classes) today. They showed us their interpretations of the dialect distances...

And based these analyses, they proposed a classification based on what they see in MDS, cluster analysis and network maps. After that, I introduced what other uses of dialectometric techniques there could be, beyond dialect classification.
