II. The Spatial DISTRIBUTION of individual terms

In this chapter, section categories are considered independently from one another,
although every group in space has four of them. Map 6 shows the groups and the presence of
the categories a.mong those groups bold circles following geographic coordinates. Included
is a linear regression describing the mean points of appearance of a category following
geographical coordinates. Those lines of regression are, for the moment, considered as possible
routes of diffusion. The points of intersection of the lines can be interpreted as locations
through which each category has, with strong probability, difliised, as they comply with both
types of regression. The underlying hypothesis is the banal assertion that if a category or
section is known in several places, then these places are the “lefi-overs” of its initial diffusion.
The lines of regression simply display mean routes between all places where such a category
or section appears. Map 6 is preceded by Map 5, displaying the key to the spatial illustrations
used in the following chapters.
