The paper discusses the application of a similarity metric based
on compression to the measurement of the distance among Bulgarian dia-
lects. The similarity metric is de ned on the basis of the notion of Kolmo-
gorov complexity of a le (or binary string). The application of Kolmogorov
complexity in practice is not possible because its calculation over a le is an
undecidable problem. Thus, the actual similarity metric is based on a real life
compressor which only approximates the Kolmogorov complexity....
The paper presents a computational analysis of Bulgarian dialect variation, concentrating on pronunciation differences. It describes the
phonetic data set compiled during the project* ‘Measuring Linguistic Unity
and Diversity in Europe’ that consists of the pronunciations of 157 words
collected at 197 sites from all over Bulgaria. We also present the results of analyzing this data set using various quantitative methods and compare them
to the traditional scholarship on Bulgarian dialects. The results...
