22.02.19 We write about methods. And publish code on github.com/nzzdev/st-methods The outcome was unexpected On dialects Case 1: on weapon exports Stereotype: «Mischdialekte» • No specific anticipation Hypothesis: • Data made a clear point More mobility => more «mix» More linguistic variability in larger places? Case 2: on dialects • Expected specific effects • No confirmation 6
22.02.19 On dialects Data on dialect use: Crowdsourcing Stereotype: «Mischdialekte» Hypothesis: More mobility => more «mix» More linguistic variability in larger places? Dialäkt Äpp (by. Leeman, A., Kolly, M.-J., Wanitsch, D., Hasler, F., Eisenblatt, C., Werlen, I. Data on dialect use Data on demographics etc. Many, many lines of code that clean data, reduce phonetic categories etc. 7
