Germanic Languages & Literatures and the Program in Linguistics, The University of Michigan Social network integration and language change in progress in a rural alpine village [Elektronische Daten] [Rosina L. Lippi-Green] The quantification of communication network integration can provide information valuable to the study of language change in very small rural communities. The adaptation of urban and communication network methodology for rural alpine social structures establishes a framework for the study of variation leading to change based on individual usage for the dialect of Grossdorf in Vorarlberg, Austria's western-most province. This approach is particularly relevant when study of aggregate group behavior has failed to yield results due to small sample size or group internal inconsistency.
