Abstract
On the basis of an apparent-time-study this article discusses the recent developments in the reflexes of MHG o in the Bavarian dialect regions of Salzburg and Tyrol. The analysis draws on the data of 185 informants from two age cohorts which were collected with the help of dialect questionnaires at 89 locations between 2012 and 2017. The survey supports the general observation that dialect-to-standard advergence in sound change is accompanied by lexical diffusion. In this context, irregular developments between and within the different dialect regions are documented and discussed.
