Yet, dialects seem to be superior data to build a theory of linguistic change on, since dialects are relatively free of standardization and therefore more tolerant of variant competition in grammar. In addition, as compared to most cross-linguistic and diachronic data, dialect data are unusually high in resolution. This book shows that the study of dialect variation has indeed the potential, perhaps even the duty, to play a central role in the process of finding answers to fundamental questions of the 410 0$aStudies in Language Companion Series 606 $aDialectology 606 $aDialectology$xMethodology 606 $aLanguage and languages$xVariation 606 $aLinguistic geography 615 0$aDialectology. 615 0$aDialectology$xMethodology. 615 0$aLanguage and languages$xVariation. 615 0$aLinguistic geography. 676 $a417 701 $aDe Vogelaer$b Gunther$01521496 701 $aSeiler$b Guido$01521497 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910791907803321 996 $aThe dialect laboratory$93760735 997 $aUNINA
