    In der vorliegenden Arbeit wird die Extraposition von PrĂ€positionalphrasen, also deren Vorkommen im postverbalen Bereich, in verschiedenen Registern untersucht. Dabei werden die Extrapositionen in zwei formellen Register miteinander verglichen, die sich im Modus mĂŒndlich vs. schriftlich voneinander unterscheiden. Von vielen Autor:innen wird angenommen, dass die Extraposition ein (exklusives) PhĂ€nomen der gesprochenen Sprache sei. Viele dieser Arbeiten stĂŒtzen ihre Aussagen allerdings nicht auf kontrolliert zusammengestellte Sprachdaten. Die Arbeit versucht sich diesem Ziel anzunehmen und ĂŒberprĂŒft die Hypothesen empirisch anhand von Korpusdaten. Dazu werden zunĂ€chst theoretische HintergrĂŒnde und bestehende syntaktische Analysemöglichkeiten im generativen Paradigma vorgestellt. In einem weiteren Schritt werden zugrundeliegende Funktionen der Extraposition von PrĂ€positionalphrasen erlĂ€utert und das Register als ErklĂ€rung fĂŒr die Distribution dieser im Deutschen eingefĂŒhrt. Die nachfolgende Analyse erfolgt anhand von drei Faktoren: KomplexitĂ€t, syntaktische Funktion und kontextueller Status. Die Arbeit kommt zu dem Ergebnis, dass die Extraposition von PrĂ€positionalphrasen in den untersuchten Registern frequenter im MĂŒndlichen ist, aber dennoch im Schriftlichen auftritt. Ebenfalls wird gezeigt, dass die analysierten Faktoren abhĂ€ngig vom Register sind.In this paper, the extraposition of prepositional phrases, i.e. their occurrence in the postverbal domain is investigated in different registers. The extrapositions are compared in two formal registers which differ from each other in the mode of spoken vs. written language. Many authors assume that extraposition is an (exclusive) phenomenon of spoken language. However, many of these works do not base their claims on speech data compiled in a controlled manner. This paper attempts to address this issue by testing the hypotheses empirically on the basis of corpus data. For this purpose, theoretical background and existing syntactic analyses in the generative paradigm are presented first. Next, underlying functions of the extraposition of prepositional phrases are explained and the register is introduced as an explanation for the distribution of these in German. The subsequent analysis is based on three factors: complexity, syntactic function, and contextual status. The paper concludes that the extraposition of prepositional phrases in the registers that were analysed is more frequent in spoken language, but still occurs in written language. It is also shown that the factors of the analysis depend on the register

    The study investigates adverbial structures in spoken French that combine three or more discursive elements in a complex way. These structures are modeled in accordance with the terms of construction grammar as “macro constructions.” Drawing upon an extensive corpus, this study analyzes them with regard to their local emergence in interaction and their sedimentation

    The volume takes stock of grammatical theory and empiricism in Germanic linguistics, presenting critical discussions of issues related to paradigms, methods, and objectives. The essays cover themes such as descriptive completeness and grammatical modeling that have shaped recent discourse in the field. They also shed light on lacunae, thus opening up new research perspectives in the discipline

    Deutsch und Kinyarwanda - ein typologischer Vergleich auf Phonologischer, morphologischer und syntaktischer Ebene

    Get PDF
    This study compares German and Kinyarwanda (JD60), a Bantu language spoken in Rwanda and neighboring countries (Burundi, Democratic Republic of Congo, Tanzania, and Uganda). By analyzing the linguistic levels of Kinyarwanda phonology, morphology, and syntax, the study provides an insight into the structure of Kinyarwanda, discusses and compares the salient structural differences and similarities between German and standard Kinyarwanda. The study should be understood as a contribution to comparative and contrastive linguistic research, which on the one hand will serve to improve language teaching, especially Kinyarwanda teaching and on the other hand will continue comparative linguistic research. Language comparison and contrastive analysis are very effective for this purpose, so that native German-speaking learners can acquire a deeper insight into the structure of Kinyarwanda as well as a better understanding of this language

    #GlockeAktiv: A corpus linguistic study of German youth language on YouTube

    Get PDF
    This thesis is a corpus linguistic investigation of the language used by young German speakers online, examining lexical, morphological, orthographic, and syntactic features and changes in language use over time. The study analyses the language in the Nottinghamer Korpus deutscher YouTube‐Sprache ("Nottingham corpus of German YouTube language", or NottDeuYTSch corpus), one of the first large corpora of German‐language comments taken from the videosharing website YouTube, and built specifically for this project. The metadatarich corpus comprises c.33 million tokens from more than 3 million comments posted underneath videos uploaded by mainstream German‐language youthorientated YouTube channels from 2008‐2018. The NottDeuYTSch corpus was created to enable corpus linguistic approaches to studying digital German youth language (Jugendsprache), having identified the need for more specialised web corpora (see Barbaresi 2019). The methodology for compiling the corpus is described in detail in the thesis to facilitate future construction of web corpora. The thesis is situated at the intersection of Computer‐Mediated Communication (CMC) and youth language, which have been important areas of sociolinguistic scholarship since the 1980s, and explores what we can learn from a corpus‐driven, longitudinal approach to (online) youth language. To do so, the thesis uses corpus linguistic methods to analyse three main areas: 1. Lexical trends and the morphology of polysemous lexical items. For this purpose, the analysis focuses on geil, one of the most iconic and productive words in youth language, and presents a longitudinal analysis, demonstrating that usage of geil has decreased, and identifies lexical items that have emerged as potential replacements. Additionally, geil is used to analyse innovative morphological productiveness, demonstrating how different senses of geil are used as a base lexeme or affixoid in compounding and derivation. 2. Syntactic developments. The novel grammaticalization of several subordinating conjunctions into both coordinating conjunctions and discourse markers is examined. The investigation is supported by statistical analyses that demonstrate an increase in the use of non‐standard syntax over the timeframe of the corpus and compares the results with other corpora of written language. 3. Orthography and the metacommunicative features of digital writing. This iii iv analysis identifies orthographic features and strategies in the corpus, e.g. the repetition of certain emoji, and develops a holistic framework to study metacommunicative functions, such as the communication of illocutionary force, information structure, or the expression of identities. The framework unifies previous research that had focused on individual features, integrating a wide range of metacommunicative strategies within a single, robust system of analysis. By using qualitative and computational analytical frameworks within corpus linguistic methods, the thesis identifies emergent linguistic features in digital youth language in German and sheds further light on lexical and morphosyntactic changes and trends in the language of young people over the period 2008‐2018. The study has also further developed and augmented existing analytical frameworks to widen the scope of their application to orthographic features associated with digital writing

    Syntaktischer Atlas der deutschen Schweiz (SADS) – Band 1

    Get PDF
    Das zweibĂ€ndige Werk gibt erstmals einen umfassenden Überblick ĂŒber den Satzbau der schweizerdeutschen Dialekte und ergĂ€nzt das Standardwerk ""Sprachatlas der deutschen Schweiz"", in dem syntaktische Fragen weitgehend ausgespart blieben. Die vorgestellten Ergebnisse basieren auf einer vom Schweizerischen Nationalfonds geförderten Erhebung mit Fragebögen an 383 Ortspunkten bei durchschnittlich sieben GewĂ€hrspersonen in den Jahren 2000-2002. Der Atlas stellt zahlreiche bisher nicht oder kaum beachtete PhĂ€nomene in der Syntax der Nominal- und Verbalphrase sowie Satzverbindung detailliert vor und belegt die lange bestrittene Raumgliederung im Bereich der Morphosyntax. Die Ergebnisse werden unter BerĂŒcksichtigung der Variation am Ort in 78 thematischen Kommentaren besprochen (Bd. 1) und auf 216 - je nach Kartentyp auch farbigen - Dialektkarten (Bd. 2) prĂ€sentiert
