12. S-shaped curve of phonological standardization : six surveys in the Tsuruoka and Yamazoe areasFumio Inoue, 2010, original scientific article Abstract: This paper is concerned with the speed of linguistic change. If social variation is a reflection of linguistic change, the scene of the linguistic change can be caught in action as a palpable phenomenon. However there is one theoretical question, the distinction of “real time” and “apparent time”. In order to observe linguistic change repeated surveying is necessary. The tradition of Japanese dialectology provides us with several examples of repetitive surveys. The conclusion of the analysis is as follows. The curve of apparent-time change corresponds to that of real-time change. The total number of years necessary for a linguistic change to be completed is nearly 200 years.

13. Slovene regional atlases : from SDLA-Ts to SDLA-SIRada Cossutta, 2010, original scientific article Abstract: The paper focuses on the presentation of two Slovene regional dialectological atlases that significantly complement the Friulian atlas ASLEF: Slovene Dialectological Lexical Atlas of the Province of Trieste (SDLA-Ts) (1987) for the Trieste Karst and Slovene Dialectological Lexical Atlas of Slovene Istria (SDLA-SI) (2005–2006) for Slovene Istria. Their realisation undoubtedly represents an important achievement in the field of the dialectal lexis of Primorska, which documented and mapped in the mentioned two volumes.

14. Point and find: the intuitive user experience in accessing spatially structured dialect dictionariesEveline Wandl-Vogt, 2010, original scientific article Abstract: This article adresses a long-term project of the “Austrian Academic Dialect Dictionary” the “Wörterbuch der bairischen Mundarten in Österreich (WBÖ / Dictionary of Bavarian dialects in Austria)”. The project Datenbank der bairischen Mundarten (DBÖ / Database of Bavarian dialects in Austria) commenced in 1993 and was aimed at the digitalisation of the archives. In 1998 a rationalisation concept was issued, which targeted the completion of the dictionary in 2020 as a (virtual) unit consisting of the printed dictionary and a complementary database. The project Database of Bavarian dialects in Austria electronically mapped (dbo@ema) has demonstrated how the unification of online dictionaries and source material databases with visual, geo-referenced access applications and so called ‘topographic navigation’ can increase usability and lead to greater interdisciplinary insight.

15. Making paradigms of verbs and adjectives using a dialect corpusChitsuko Fukushima, 2010, original scientific article Abstract: The author has been involved in the making of a dialect dictionary of Tokunoshima, Amami, Japan, using a dialect corpus. The analysis of the dialect corpus and face-to-face interviews were combined to obtain the paradigms of verbs and adjectives to be included in the multimedia dialect dictionary. Sentences in the corpus were cut into phrases and verbs were identified and sorted into lists of verbs. The lists were examined to find patterns of verb conjugation. All conjugated forms were examined regarding succeeding forms, and, based on the distribution, a conjugated form was chosen as an entry. In Japanese, verbs and adjectives belong to the same syntactic category and adjectives change their forms as verbs do. Thus the same procedure was repeated concerning adjectives, and patterns and paradigms of adjective inflection were found.

17. Computerisation of a corpus of personal correspondence spanning the 19th and 20th centuries : the study of linguistic variationMaria-Pilar Perea, 2010, original scientific article Abstract: The article presents the contents and the technical resources of the CD-ROM “Epistolari d’Antoni M. Alcover (1880–1931)” [Antoni M. Alcover’s correspondence], published in 2008, which contains the complete transcription of the Majorcan dialectologist’s personal correspondence between 1880 and 1931. It shows how the computer program can help to study the linguistic variation throughout the 3,529,159 words of the corpus of correspondence. Among many other features, we pay special attention to the presence of dialect features and to the linguistic interference between Catalan and Castilian at the beginning of the 20th century.

18. A new sociolinguistic taxonomy, 'cookbook', and immigrant communitiesYoshiyuki Asahi, 2010, original scientific article Abstract: This paper proposes a sociolinguistic taxonomy, called ‘cookbook,’ which aims to account for highly diverse communities. The definition of this ‘cookbook’ was derived based on its literal meaning, its usage in laboratory situations. ‘Cookbook’ aims to categorise both the speaker at a micro level and society at a macro level at the same time. This will enable us to render more accurate sociolinguistic descriptions in a given community. As examples, two case studies (new town study and diaspora study) are introduced to show how ‘cookbook’ can explain the attested linguistic variation.

19. Mirror image properties in human languagesIreneusz Kida, 2009, original scientific article Abstract: In this paper I discuss the phenomenon of mirror image properties in human languages. I give examples from English, Polish, Malay, Gothic, Latin and Classical Greek. Although I take into consideration only a few languages, my paper has further implications, namely, that mirror image properties exist in any language of the world. I start with a description of the natural phenomenon of mirror image and then extend my discussion to language. I talk about mirror image sentences, reduplication, and palindromes.
