„Unserdeutsch”, a creole spoken in a former German South Pacific colony, and what is now Papua New Guinea, is being extensively documented and studied by linguists for the first time. There is no time to lose, because after a chequered history the world's only German-based creole – long ignored – is facing extinction.
„Unserdeutsch“ – das Kreoldeutsch aus den ehemaligen Südseekolonien und dem heutigen Papua-Neuguinea wird erstmals sprachwissenschaftlich dokumentiert und erforscht. Die Zeit drängt, denn die weltweit einzige und lange nicht beachtete deutschbasierte Kreolsprache steht nach einer wechselvollen Geschichte vor dem Aussterben.
This paper provides insights into the ongoing international research project Unserdeutsch (Rabaul Creole German): Documentation of a highly endangered creole language in Papua New Guinea, based at the University of Augsburg, Germany. It elaborates on the different stages of the project, ranging from fieldwork to corpus development, thereby outlining the methods and software background used for the intended purposes. In doing so, we also give some approaches to solving specific problems, which have arisen in the course of practical work until now.
