Mapping between Currier A and B

[MarcoP]

When you say that certain sections are closer than others in "dialect",  is this due to the strength of certain features or their presence/absence?

 

Hi Emma,
my impression is that differences are mostly due to strength, rather than some features being totally absent in some sections. This can be seen in the graphs at the bottom of Rene's page: 'ed' (ed) appears to be the only feature, among those analysed, that is (almost) totally absent in some sections; 'so' (Cho) is also very rare in some sections, and 'ho' (qo) less clearly so. But this looks like something we could look into in more detail.

Can we map individual features across the five dialects in a spectrum-like way?

Could you please provide an example of the kind of spectrum-like system you are thinking of? I will do my best to extract the needed data and show them in a similar format.
