在本文中，我们衡量的关联度之间的总发音，词汇和句法差异在70个荷兰方言品种。首先，我们表明，发音是稍微更强烈地与句法比它是与词汇，句法和词汇只有弱相关。然后，我们检查地理作为一个潜在因素的影响，因为地理是众所周知的强烈相关的每一个语言水平的调查。我们发现语音和句法与地理的联系比词汇更紧密。最后，我们通过考虑地理因素的影响来完善结果，并表明发音和句法之间的关联在很大程度上是基于地理的。语音和句法之间的关系仍然存在，但语音和词汇之间的联系更强。句法和词汇之间实际上没有联系。(C)2009爱思唯尔有限公司版权所有。
In this paper we measure the degrees of association among aggregate pronunciational, lexical and syntactic differences in 70 Dutch dialect varieties. First, we show that pronunciation is marginally more strongly associated with syntax than it is with lexis and that syntax and lexis are only weakly associated. Then, we check for the influence of geography as an underlying factor because geography is known to strongly correlate with each of the linguistic levels under investigation. We find that pronunciation and syntax are more strongly associated with geography than lexis is. Finally, we refine the results by accounting for the influence of geography as an underlying factor and show that the association between pronunciation and syntax turns out to be largely based on geography. Some influence between pronunciation and syntax remains but the association between pronunciation and lexis is stronger. There is virtually no association between syntax and lexis.
