OME TIME AGO, Hans Kurath observed that every selection of facts postulates a theory-though the converse is not necessarily true.1 In discussing the planning of a grid for a linguistic survey, the same observation can be made: whether the survey involves regional or social dialects, the theoretical interests of the investigators will determine the kind of grid-of communities and informants-selected for investigation.2
