On the basis of empirical material from interviews with 42 young
speakers of Swiss German, the authors inquire whether it is
possible to localize modern idiolects within Switzerland. The
localization of varieties is undertaken with the aid of a
horizontal dialect measurement procedure which, unlike vertical
techniques, does not gauge the distance from standard but the
similarity with local varieties. This makes it possible to identify
both local features of the varieties in question and changes within
Swiss German dialects in general.
