This volume of papers from the 13th International Conference on Methods in Dialectology held
at the University of Leeds in 2008 collects together current research and recent
methodological developments in the study of dialects by new and established scholars. It is
organised into themed sections reporting on historical dialectology dialect literature the
production of dialect maps and atlases and the collection and organisation of material for
dialect dictionaries and corpora. Perceptual dialectology and dialect intelligibility are also
featured and there are linguistic analyses of dialectal data from many language varieties.
