This model Reduce historical linguistics to etymology(study the origin of words) The dialectologists contradict the Neogrammarian model of regularity hypothesis The example Normandy k> become French ∫(before a) This oppose Neogrammarian and support Dialectologists view that every word has its history(more details P (

Notion(idea) of wave theory Deals with the change due to contact among them The dialectists’ slogans that: that every word has its own history, reflect this thinking… A word history is a result of various influences from different direction differs from anthor word’s history.
