Abstract:

The papers in this volume address the interplay of factors underlying the
formation of intermediate varieties in the ‘dialect-standard’ landscape of
present-day Europe. Research is presented on varieties of several different
languages (Norwegian, Dutch, German, Italian, Spanish, Greek), on speech
communities with different (geo)political and sociolinguistic histories, as
well as on previously unexplored sociolinguistic situations. The contributions
all share the twin characteristics of (a) robust scrutiny of structural
variation and its links to both structural-systemic parameters and
extralinguistic variables and (b) nuanced approaches to macro- and micro-
level categories, with the requisite theoretical and methodological
fine-tuning. While focusing on different languages/language groups, the papers
in this volume share the common foci of bringing together structural and
sociolinguistic considerations and of the concomitant necessary revisiting of
methodologies. The data and analyses presented yield a firmer and more nuanced
understanding of the dynamic permutations of cross-dialectal and
dialect-to-standard convergence and the formation of intermediate varieties in
different yet comparable contexts.
