This paper presents some considerations on the description of the linguistic variation phenomenon based on the principles of pluridimensional dialectology. Dialectology, or pluridimensional geolinguistics, in its topodynamic and chronodynamic dimensions, attempts to include, in the description of spoken language, the recording of language movement, following the track of a linguistic innovation within the dynamic relations established in the society. The phases of the conservation, innovation and transition phenomena are therefore described on the basis of a combination of areal recordings (diatopy) and sociolinguistic variables (diastratic, diasexual and diageneric).
