Abstract:
In this paper a range of methods for measuring the phonetic distance between dialectal variants are described. It concerns variants of the frequency method, the frequency per word method and Levenshtein distance, both simple (based on atomic characters) and complex (based on feature bundles). The measurements between feature bundles used Manhattan distance, Euclidean distance or (a measure using) Pearson's correlation coefficient. Variants of these using feature weighting by entropy reduction were systematically compared, as was the representation of diphthongs (as one symbol or two). The dialects were compared with each other directly and indirectly via a standard dialect. The results of comparison were classified by clustering and by training of a Kohonen map. The results were compared to wellestablished scholarship in dialectology, yielding a calibration of the methods. These results indicate that the frequency per word method and the Levenshtein distance outperform th.
