I think you'r talking about what David Crystal calls 'dialect continua' [1] in his _The Cambridge Encyclopedia of Language_ from 1997 [2], but IIRC (and my copy is in the cellar, so I might be off) he was speaking of Latin-based languages, primarily Spanish and Italian; these languages in fact being 'dialects' of each other, separated more or less on a geographical basis. I'd be _very_ surprised if he meant English, though. D. [1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dialect_continuum [2] ISBN 978-0521559676 -- des | 'trop d'la balle, j'kiffe grave!' BMW K100-LT |
