在这篇文章中，我打算讨论方言变异的一些一般性质，这些性质对语言习得理论有重要意义。我将首先简要地讨论方言变异是否与类型学变异有质的不同，类型学变异是一种假设存在宏观和微观参数的理论所作的预测，因为方言变异应该只显示微观参数。由于情况并非如此，我反对儿童在语言习得中必须逐步设置的参数的层次顺序的想法，而赞成抽象属性的星座的想法，这些抽象属性由它们共享一些原始组件的事实连接起来，这些组件以类似于发音特征如何聚类以联合收割机音素的方式聚集在一起，形成我们所说的“形式特征”。文章的第二部分涉及方言变异的真正特点，即传统方言学家称为“豹斑”的分布类型，并提出了这样的想法，即它可以用来制定更精确的假设功能项目的结构框架内，如地图/纳米句法之一。
In this work I intend to discuss some general properties of dialectal variation which have import on the theory of language acquisition. I will first briefly discuss whether dialectal variation is qualitatively different from typological variation, a prediction made by a theory which assumes that there exist macro- and microparameters, as dialectal variation should only display microparameters. As this is not the case, I argue against the idea of a hierarchical order of parameters that the child has to set progressively in language acquisition, and in favor of an idea of a constellation of abstract properties connected by the fact that they share some primitive components that cluster to form what we call “formal features” in a way similar to how articulatory features cluster to combine phonemes. The second part of the article deals with what is indeed peculiar to dialectal variation, namely the type of distribution called “leopard spots” by traditional dialectologists and puts forth the idea that it can be used to formulate more precise hypotheses on the structure of functional items inside a framework like the cartographic/nano-syntax one.
