Abstract
AbstractThe aim of our study is a detailed determination of the local speeches areas which are parts of the Slovenian Linguistic Atlas (SLA). The SLA is a geolinguistic project designed in the 1930s with its publishing expected in 2010. One of the goals of this subproject is to analyse the impact areas and to geographically allocate the local speeches for a more precise determination of the isoglosses. This will consequently enable a better understanding of the nature of a particular speech. Various evidences that influenced formation of the particular speech have been analysed with the geographic information system (GIS). The evidences are intra- and extra-linguistic indicators, i.e. geographic and historic. The allocation of the speeches has been generated through the innovative variables, which describe potential delimitations considering geographic criteria with help of the database of settlements in Slovenia. Further study is going to develop twofold: The first is the continuation of the research in dialectometry, and the second is to support these statements with spatial modelling and simulations. The developed methodology could be implemented to the wider areas in Central Europe.Keywordsgeolinguisticsdialectometrydigital terrain modelboundaries modelingSlovenian Linguistic Atlas
