Abstract
The aim of this work is to explain the nature of BiV database. BiV is an online database on Basque morphosyntactic properties that have cross-dialectal variation. It stores the data obtained from questionnaires and displays the distribution of the variation. It also provides the description of each property and illustrative examples. The aerial view shows, on the one hand, that some properties have the same or very similar distribution as that attributed to them in dialectological works. On the other hand, it reveals that a few properties take a wider area than the one expected. Finally, it shows that certain properties have a clear division between two zones: North v. South or East v. West.
