Abstract
This paper provides an overview of computational work in dialectology. We
have published similar surveys in the not-too-distant past (Heeringa and Prokic,
2018; Wieling and Nerbonne, 2015), but these were aimed at dialectologists and
general linguists, respectively. This article is aimed at computational linguists,
so that we will focus less on the nuts and bolts of exploiting the computer in
research on dialects (which is documented in the articles we cite) and more on
background assumptions and emerging issues and opportunities.
