General surveys appear along with in-depth studies of particular problems. Some papers describe the present situation in terms of dynamic synchrony, others deal with the past and making use of present-day dialectal data to help solve certain problems and, finally, those that draw on the past to explain the present. Traditional dialectological methodology is presented here, as is modern quantificational and computative dialectology.Varieties of English around the world.General series ;4.English languageDialectsEnglandEnglish languageSocial aspectsEnglandEnglish languageDialectsWalesEnglish languageSocial aspectsWalesEnglish languageVariationEnglandEnglish languageVariationWalesEnglandLanguagesWalesLanguagesEnglish languageDialectsEnglish languageSocial aspectsEnglish languageDialectsEnglish languageSocial aspectsEnglish languageVariationEnglish languageVariation427Viereck Wolfgang156908MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910781521503321Focus on England and Wales3825353UNINA
