software for dialectometrics and cartography
Tutorial
Overview. The purpose of this software
Properties
Not just for dialects
Simple measurement using the Levenshtein method
Clustering using Ward's Method
Visualisation: dendrogram, simple cluster map in colour or black and white
Levenshtein again, binary differences, and measuring the Gewichteter Identitätswert
Multidimensional scaling (MDS)
Visualisation: MDS plot, MDS map
How do I get the data in the right format?
How do I make a map for a new area?
Local incoherence
Example: lexical measurement with removal of infrequent words
Clustering: cophenetic distances, fuzzy clustering, MDS
Visualisation: composite cluster map,
vector map
Coding of speech sound with X-Sampa
Splitting sound sequences into tokens
Levenshtein measurement using phonetic features
Software package for statistical analysis
