Dialectology studies boundaries and isoglosses along with the demarcation between dialects. Here, natural and legal boundaries each play a part. The volume combines several strands of research on the theme Language and Boundaries. It focuses especially on four thematic areas: dialect geography, language dynamics, language contact, and multilingualism, along with perceptual dialectology.
