Cette étude est une analyse dialectométrique des parlers berbères de Kabylie. Le présent travail inclut un échantillon de 168 parlers kabyles répartis sur tout le territoire kabylophone. Le corpus analysé compte 130 entrées (lexèmes et syntagmes) recueillies dans chacune des variétés prises en compte. Nous avons opté pour la méthode Levenshtein afin de calculer la distance entre les variantes. Nous avons choisi l’algorithme de Ward’s Method pour regrouper les variétés. Nous avons testé trois méthodes pour calculer la distance entre les sons : la méthode binaire, la distance d’Euclide et la distance de Manhattan. L’analyse des résultats nous a permis de montrer le continuum dialectal en Kabylie et de classifier les parlers kabyles en cinq zones infradialectales principales. / This study is a dialectometric analysis of Berber dialects of Kabylia. This work includes a sample of 168 Kabyle dialects spread across the Kabyle territory. The analyzed corpus includes 130 entries (lexemes and phrases) collected in each of the varieties considered. We opted for the Levenshtein method to calculate the distance between the variants. We chose the algorithm of Ward's Method for grouping varieties. We tested three methods to calculate the distance between the sounds: the binary method, the Euclidean distance and the Manhattan distance. The analysis of the results allowed us to show the dialect continuum in Kabylia and classify Kabyle dialects into five mains areas.

Lo studio esamina la variazione lessicale regionale in forma scritta nell’inglese standard in California. Attraverso ricerche in rete limitate a 336 siti di giornali online con sede in 270 città in California, vengono raccolti i valori di 45 variabili continue di alternanze lessicali e quindi calcolati come proporzioni. Tecniche statistiche di autocorrelazione spaziale globale e locale analizzano i valori. I risultati delle analisi, riportati in 90 mappe, confermano la distribuzione regionale delle variabili in California. Le 45 variabili lessicali sono poi esaminate con tecniche statistiche multivariate per individuare le relazioni linguistiche tra le città della California esaminate. L’analisi fattoriale, che rappresenta il 50,5% della variazione nei dati, evidenzia tre aree nella distribuzione regionale lessicale: nord/sud, urbano/rurale, e aree centrali e basso meridionali/aree alto meridionali e del nord. L’analisi dei cluster gerarchica distingue inoltre sei regioni dialettali principali in California: quella del Nord, quella di Sacramento-Santa Cruz, quella della San Francisco Bay Area, quella centrale, quella alto meridionale, e quella basso meridionale. Cinque mappe multivariate sono fornite nella tesi. La spiegazione dei risultati si basa sia su modelli di insediamento storico che su una spiegazione socio-culturale, che si riflettono nel linguaggio in California. / The study examines regional lexical variation in written Standard California English. The values​of 45 continuous lexical alternation variables are gathered through site-restricted web searches in 336 online newspaper websites based in 270 locations in California and then calculated as proportions. Statistical techniques analyze global and local spatial autocorrelation values. The results of the analysis, reported in 90 maps, confirm the regional distribution of the variables in California. The 45 lexical variables are then analyzed with multivariate techniques to identify the linguistic relations between the surveyed California cities. Factor analysis, which accounts for 50.5% of the variation in the data, highlights three areas in the regional lexical distribution: north/south, urban/rural, central and lower southern/upper southern and northern areas. The hierarchical cluster analysis also distinguishes six major dialect regions in California: the North dialect region, the Sacramento-Santa Cruz dialect region, the San Francisco Bay Area dialect region, the Central dialect region, the Upper Southerns dialect region, and the Lower Southern dialect region. Five multivariate maps are provided in the thesis. The explanation of the results is based both on historical settlement patterns and on a socio-cultural explanation, which are reflected in the language in California.

Notre étude s’intitule variations de formes dans la langue Mbochi (bantu C25). Elle s’inscrit dans le cadre de la linguistique historique bantu.A travers une analyse dialectométrique, elle identifie et localise les dix parlers mbochi. Elle montre que le mbochi est une langue bantu parlée dans le nord de la République du Congo, dans le département de la Cuvette (dans les districts de Boundji, Ngoko, Tchikapika et Oyo) et celui des Plateaux (dans les districts d’Ongogni, Ollombo, Abala, Alembe). Il compte dix dialectes (Olee, Mbonzi, Tsambitso, Ngilima, Bokwele, Bonyala, Ngae, Obaa, Eboyi et Ondinga). Visant une meilleure compréhension des mécanismes linguistiques qui sous-tendent la diversification linguistique dans le pays mbochi, notre analyse se focalise sur les variations phoniques, morphologiques et lexicales qui s’opèrent d’un dialecte mbochi à un autre. Elle dégage les divergences et les convergences entre les différents parlers. Aussi présente-t-elle une description phonologique et morphologique des parlers mbochi actuels (synchronie). Elle examine les correspondances phonologiques et morphologiques ainsi que les réflexes du proto-bantu en mbochi avant de procéder à la reconstruction des phonèmes et des morphèmes du proto-mbochi, mère hypothétique des parlers actuels.La présente étude divise les parlers mbochi en trois principaux sous-groupes selon leurs convergences phonologiques et morphologiques. Elle montre l’impact de la proximité géographique, du contact des langues dans la diversification de celles-ci. / Our study entitled “variations of forms in Mbochi language (Bantu C25)” is considered as part of the Bantu historical linguistics. It identifies and locates the ten Mbochi dialects through a dialectometric analysis. It shows that Mbochi is a Bantu language spoken in the northern part of Republic of Congo, mainly in the Cuvette (in the districts of Boundji, Ngoko, Tchikapika and Oyo) and Plateau (in the Ongogni districts Ollombo, Abala Alembé) departments. It has ten dialects (Olee, Mbonzi, Tsambitso, Ngilima, Bokwele, Bonyala, Ngae, Obaa, Eboyi and Ondinga).Our analysis targets a better understanding of the underlying language mechanisms of linguistic diversity of Mbochi and is focused on sound, morphological and lexical variations from one dialect to another. It highlights the differences and similarities between these dialects. It also presents a phonological and morphological description of the current Mbochi dialects (synchrony). It examines the phonological and morphological correspondences to the proto-bantu before reconstructing the phonemes and morphemes of proto-Mbochi, the hypothetical source of the current Mbochi dialects.This study divides the Mbochi dialects into three main sub-groups according to their phonological and morphological similarities. It shows both the impact of geographical proximity and that of language contact in the diversification of these dialects.
