Linguistics and Dialectology are two sides of the same coin: the former deals with the rigorous analysis of natural languages and the latter with concrete varieties of language in its cohesive and identifying social roles. Linguistics today is moving towards an integration of its various dimensions: phonology and phonetics are now so intricately tied that the unimodular phonetological approach is gaining ground rapidly; synchrony and diachrony are moving towards a reintegration, thus moving away from their parallel paths; and, finally, the so-called ‘non-structural’ elements of language are gradually being acknowledged as an integral part of the analysis that was traditionally reserved for the ‘structural’ ones. As linguistics moves, so does dialectology, since the latter has always been the laboratory of linguists, even if they have not formally accepted it as such. A new approach to dialectal matters must therefore move away from mere description and search for a more comprehensive analysis that confirms the essential inviolability of the binomial language-society. The traditional view of Hispanic linguistics and dialectology has been a victim of the dichotomic approach: conservative versus radical, Iberian versus American, high lands versus low lands, North-Central Castilian versus ‘Atlantic’ Spanish among others. This paper aims at taking an integrated approach to linguistics and dialectology, with its case study addressing the so called ‘Atlantic’ Spanish and the phonetological changes it is going through in search of a more satisfying explanation of short-term and long-term variability.

The situation of dialectologists within the new integrated linguistics: the case of Atlantic Spanish
