Preface
The Sixth International Conference on Methods in Dialectology was hosted by the Department of Linguistics in the University College of North Wales, 37 August, 1987. The meeting was held jointly with that of the Summer meeting of the American Dialect Society. This volume contains a substantial selection of the papers presented.
The papers are wide-ranging in their coverage, with a satisfying leaning towards the practical matters of survey and field-work methodology, to the application of statistical techniques in analysis of data, and to computational methodology in the presentation of results, particularly in atlas form.
The conference was designed to reflect the currect concerns of dialectologists, as they exploit these methodological tools in the twin contexts of insights which derive from sociology via sociolinguistics, and their awareness of the interplay between synchronic variation and linguistic change. The papers in this volume combine all these aspects of variation study, though the mix varies with individual authors' concern.
In all, these Proceedings mirror the wide range of interests which characterise the practice of Dialectology as a research discipline, and well illustrate the dilemma of the pedant who seeks an inviolate line of demarkation between 'dialectology' and 'sociolinguistics'. The defining criterion for dialectology, perhaps, is its central concern with variation in the spatial parameter, and with diffusion through space and time, in addition to refinement of the data by an enhanced awareness of the significance of factors of communal social structure.
I read this set of papers as a celebration of those who, while working a 'face' (to use a Welsh mining idiom) which involves the collection, storage and analysis of vast amounts of data, are equally concerned with issues of methodology which are at the forefront of research in the study of language use.
I would like to record the thanks of the Conference Steering Committee to the Department of Linguistics at the University College of North Wales for substantial financial support; to the College for a grant towards the cost of the Conference Dinner; and to the British Academy and the American Dialect Society for contributions to the travel costs of the two featured speakers, Professor Wolfgang Viereck, University of Bamberg, and Professor William A. Kretzschmar Jr., University of Wisconsin at Whitewater.
