In this article we investigate the choice of linguistic features in developing an adequate methodology for distinguishing and comparing speeches from a geolinguistic point of view, and thus for measuring linguistic distances. Linguistic features can be classified in two main groups: grammatical features and lexical features. Leaving aside the analysis of the lexicon, in this work we develop an analysis of features of different areas of the grammar: phonology, nominal morphology, verbal morphology, and syntax, which we propose can be analyzed separately on the basis of lists of features. We will thus be able to measure linguistic distances within each area of the grammar and globally. After proposing a specific list of features, we discuss the following issues: the number of features to be considered, the adequate proportion of different areas of the grammar. Since linguistic features are abstract in nature, we also discuss the matching between data and linguistic features. In the last part we consider several proposals for the analysis of the lexicon.
