About this document

Bidialectalism vs. Linguistic Continuum by yu mingrui is a document available to read on EtoBox.

The document discusses the differences between viewing linguistic variation as internal to a single language versus as evidence of distinct dialects. It explores this issue in the context of Romance languages in Europe over different historical periods. It also considers the relationship between dialects that have descended from a common ancestor versus one descending from another and the political implications of labeling variations as distinct dialects.
