Abstract:
Abstract We examine situations in which linguistic changes have likely been propagated via normal contact as opposed to via conquest, recent settlement and large-scale migration. We proceed then from two simplifying assumptions, first that all linguistic variation is the result of either diffusion or independent innovation, and second, that we may operationalize social contact as geographic distance. It is clear that both of these assumptions are imperfect, but they allow us to examine diffusion via the distribution of linguistic variation as a function of geographic distance. Several studies in quantitative linguistics have examined this relation, starting with Séguy (1971), and virtually all report a sublinear growth in aggregate linguistic variation as a function of geographic distance. The literature from dialectology and historical linguistics has mostly traced the diffusion of individual features, however, so that it is sensible to ask what sort of dynamic in the diffusion of individual features is compatible with Séguy’s curve. We examine some simulations of diffusion in an effort to shed light on this question. 1
