Isogloss
in linguistic geography, a line on a map designating the distributional boundaries of a given linguistic phenomenon (phonetic, morphological, syntactic, lexical). For example, an isoglossal line can be drawn showing the distribution of the word gomonit’ (“to din”) in the meaning of govorit’ (“to talk”) in the southwestern regions of the RSFSR, and for the Indo-Iranian languages it is possible, with the aid of an isogloss, to mark the areas that use enclitic pronouns in a subjective, objective, or attributive function. Along with the general term “isogloss” there are also specific terms such as isophone (an isogloss showing the distribution of a sound) and isosyntagm (an isogloss showing the distribution of a syntactic phenomenon).

No references found | The few significant items of evidence that can be identified point to the existence of a series of intersecting isoglosses whose scope is wider than the traditional Uralic area. Furthermore, there are striking similarities between the lexicons of Thangmi and Classical Newar, and while the status of these lexical isoglosses is not clear, they are discussed in greater length in Turin (in press). For instance, Warwickshire and Derbyshire are split in two halves by the reconstructed isoglosses separating, respectively, the South-West Midlands from the South-East Midlands, and the NorthWest Midlands from the North-East Midlands. |
