Abstract:

Over the last 150 years the field of dialectology has seen a great broadening
and diversification of subject matter, including the range of languages and
dialects studied, methodological approaches and theoretical perspectives used,
and its links with allied disciplines. 

The Handbook of Dialectology meets this challenge by providing an
authoritative, up-to-date account of the study of dialect from around the
world.

Organized into three sections—theory, method, and data—the editors along with
an international team of leading scholars explore the broad field of
dialectology and a wide range of related subtopics.

The Handbook considers dialect variation in the world’s most widely spoken and
commonly studied languages, including a variety of language families that have
traditionally received less attention in general discussions of dialectology.
Chapters address the most important issues, review the essential research, and
offer a critical discussion of the past, present and future developments of
the subfield. In addition, the book begins with an introductory essay on the
nature of dialect variation, and the history and current status of the
discipline of dialectology.
