dialectology has long suffered from relative isolation in the humanities, due both to the nature of its objects (stigmatised dialects or patois) and to its historical integration into the language sciences. However, at first sight, this marginal discipline has gradually become central to the sciences of society, first through the Labovian sociolinguistics, from the last third of the last century, and then because of the need to deal with speech grain in fine, as part of the development of speech recognition technologies. Finally, the decisive development of linguistic typology and the renewal of techniques and documentation projects for endangered languages have completed this integration of dialectology into social sciences and language sciences. In any event, apart from its practical and ideally conflicting nature, dialectology appears to be no more than a particularly dense field of general language, given the density of competing structures that can be observed in a language or language field. As such, dialectology suggests, in the way of Jorge Luis Borges’ fictions and the aesthetic and logical models of Nelson Goodman, multiple worlds within the worlds which can be observed by the linguist and sociologist or anthropologist, or even the engineer. She confirmed that, rather than complexity, it was the density and coherence of multiplex structures that was the only symbolic phenomenon in humans. This general dialectology test seeks to highlight these research perspectives by applying general dialectology methods to non-Indo-European languages in Europe, in order to raise the profile of structures and create a distancing effect from the facts. It takes into account the psychosocial contextualisation of dialectal facts, which are never only language facts, despite this other form of density, namely prejudices against dialects, as psychosocial or glottopolic facts. As such, general dialectology is not only an integrated discipline in the social sciences, but also a field of pure empirism, where methodological pluralism can freely be exercised.
