| Summary: | Linguists were quick to notice the close relationship between the history of language & dialectology. This article centres on the attention which dialectology researchers have paid to the field of chronology, many of the examples used coming from Greek & Basque dialectology. The classic distinction between innovations, choices & archaisms with qualifications & a range of different details is presented. The difficulties encountered by the method when it comes to distinguishing between innovations & archaisms within the language is also shown; reference is also made to the different value placed in dialectology on the evidential power of innovations, choices & archaisms when it comes to determining dialectal communities. At the end of the article, there is a response to the criticisms of our work made over recent years by Koldo Zuazo in a book published in 2006 which aims to be didactic. References.
