On a broad empirical basis and by using qualitative as well as quantitative methods, it is demonstrated that speakers with identical levels of sedentarism do not feel the same place loyalty towards their place of living. It is subsequently shown that the dialect use of speakers with differently marked place loyalty differs greatly. The article therefore suggests viewing local affiliation as entity which, among other things, is established via language use.</p> ER -
