Abstract
A population consists of a collection of individuals presenting some common, prespecified characteristic, such as “living in a defined geographical area,” or “speaking a given dialect.” If the variability exhibited by individual members of this population for some traits is not random, but rather related to recognizable criteria defining subpopulations, this population may be differentiated. We shall concern ourselves with studies whose purpose is to reveal this underlying structure, as well as to attempt to make some inference concerning the process that led to that structure.
