Trimming the Hems: A Fuzzy Linguistics Proposal

Dialects are perennial features of our linguistic milieu that can be quantified as part of an ever-evolving spectrum. While linguists contend with issues of classification regarding the difference between dialects and languages, we can first start by subsuming them into the general diapason of language. Language itself can be defined as a set of rules situated within the categories of sets, the simplest of which will be part of our retinue. The simple sets include Semantics, defined as S and Syntax defined as S1. In this paper we will define language, dialects, and establish a dialect continuum. The dialect continuum will be defined by the properties of L-complexes and fuzzy logic.
