Carbondale, IL.dialect mappingThe documentation of dialectal conditions and developments in the form of a geographicmap on which the results of linguistic-geographic analyses are presented either as a nonkeyedtext (e.g. individual words in their regional distribution) or in the form of symbols.Currently, the basic methods of representing linguistic data on maps are to key thepertinent linguistic data to each locality of occurrence with dots or to draw boundary linesaround areas with the same linguistic features. Maps may be drawn to show individuallinguistic levels (e.g. phonetic or phonological, morphological, lexical, or syntacticdialect maps) or to show a combination of features that give a cumulative overview of thedialectal geographic distribution. A linguistic atlas is a comprehensive representation ofdialectal features for a whole region or a whole linguistic area. ( also dialectgeography)
