Abstract
A perennial conflict in historical linguistics centers around the theoretical and practical virtues of tree-like
divergence and wave-like diffusion. This paper presents the Dialect Chain Tree, an extension of the tree model that incorporates
both tree-like descent and disintegration of dialect chains in a systematic fashion. As such, it provides a formalization and
sharpening of Ross’ (1997: 212–228) linkage concept that allows integration into
quantitative approaches.
