"Binnendeutsch" und "Hauptvariante Bundesrepublik". Zu Peter von Polenz' Kritik an Hugo Moser
(1989)
Speakers’ dialogical orientation to the particular others they talk to is implemented by practices of recipient-design. One such practice is the use of negation as a means to constrain interpretations of speaker’s actions by the partner. The paper situates this use of negation within the larger context of other recipient-designed uses of negation which negate assumptions the speaker makes about what the addressee holds to be true (second-order assumptions) or what the addressee assumes the speaker holds to be true (third- order assumptions). The focus of the study is on the ways in which speakers use negation to disclaim interpretations of their turns which partners have displayed or may possibly arrive at. Special emphasis is given to the positionally sensitive uses of negation, which may occur before, after or inserted between the nucleus actions whose interpretation is constrained by the negation. Interactional motivations and rhetorical potentials of the practice are pointed out, partly depending on the position of the negation vis-à-vis the nucleus action. The analysis shows that the concept of ‘recipient design’ is in need of distinctions which have not been in focus in prior research.
In the first volume of Corpus Linguistics and Linguistic Theory, Gries (2005. Null-hypothesis significance testing of word frequencies: A follow-up on Kilgarriff. Corpus Linguistics and Linguistic Theory 1(2). doi:10.1515/ cllt.2005.1.2.277. http://www.degruyter.com/view/j/cllt.2005.1.issue-2/cllt.2005. 1.2.277/cllt.2005.1.2.277.xml: 285) asked whether corpus linguists should abandon null-hypothesis significance testing. In this paper, I want to revive this discussion by defending the argument that the assumptions that allow inferences about a given population – in this case about the studied languages – based on results observed in a sample – in this case a collection of naturally occurring language data – are not fulfilled. As a consequence, corpus linguists should indeed abandon null-hypothesis significance testing.
Dieser Beitrag gibt einen Überblick über die methodischen Ausgangspunkte des Projekts MIT. Qualität und stellt einige zentrale Erkenntnisse zur Modellbildung, der korpuslinguistischen Analyse und Akzeptabilitätserhebungen in der Sprachgemeinschaft vor. Wir zeigen dabei, wie bestehende Textqualitätsmodelle anhand einer Analyse einschlägiger Ratgeberliteratur erweitert werden können. Es wurden zwei empirische Fallstudien durchgeführt, die beide auf die Herstellung von textueller Kohärenz mittels des Kausalkonnektors weil fokussieren. Wir stellen zunächst eine korpuskontrastive Analyse vor. Weiterhin zeigen wir, wie man anhand verschiedener Aufgabenstellungen diverse Aspekte von Akzeptabilität in der Sprachgemeinschaft abprüfen kann.
Belege in elexiko
(2005)
In this paper, we present the concept and the results of two studies addressing (potential) users of monolingual German online dictionaries, such as www.elexiko.de. Drawing on the example of elexiko, the aim of those studies was to collect empirical data on possible extensions of the content of monolingual online dictionaries, e.g. the search function, to evaluate how users comprehend the terminology of the user interface, to find out which types of information are expected to be included in each specific lexicographic module and to investigate general questions regarding the function and reception of examples illustrating the use of a word. The design and distribution of the surveys is comparable to the studies described in the chapters 5-8 of this volume. We also explain, how the data obtained in our studies were used for further improvement of the elexiko-dictionary.
Dieser Beitrag geht auf die 2010 erschienene Dissertation „Migration, Sprache und Rassismus“ des Verfassers zurück. Dort untersucht er mit ethnografischen und gesprächsanalytischen bzw. -rhetorischen Methoden den kommunikativen Stil von zwei mehrheitlich türkischstämmigen, akademischen Gruppen der zweiten Migrantengeneration in Deutschland. Im Fokus der Studie steht das Milieu der „emanzipatorischen Migranten“, die ethnische Zuschreibungen wie „Türken“, „Kurden“, Italiener“ etc. ablehnen und sich als (kultur-)politische Initiativen gegen Diskriminierung und für gleiche Bürgerrechte einsetzen. Als Fallstudie für diese soziale Welt analysiert der Autor die Mannheimer Gruppe der „Unmündigen“. Sein Erkenntnisinteresse richtet sich auf die Fragen, welche rhetorischen Verfahren die Beteiligten im Umgang mit Diskriminierungs- und Marginalisierungserfahrungen entwickelt haben und wie sie in ihrer gruppeninternen Kommunikation auf das Türkische und das Deutsche in ihrem Sprachrepertoire zurückgreifen. Im vorliegenden Artikel wird auf den letztgenannten Aspekt eingegangen und untersucht, welche Formen und Funktionen die deutsch-türkische Variationspraxis der „emanzipatorischen Migranten“ aufweist.
In this paper, the authors use the 2012 log files of two German online dictionaries (Digital Dictionary of the German Language and the German Version of Wiktionary) and the 100,000 most frequent words in the Mannheim German Reference Corpus from 2009 to answer the question of whether dictionary users really do look up frequent words, first asked by de Schryver et al. (2006). By using an approach to the comparison of log files and corpus data which is completely different from that of the aforementioned authors, we provide empirical evidence that indicates - contrary to the results of de Schryver et al. and Verlinde/Binon (2010) - that the corpus frequency of a word can indeed be an important factor in determining what online dictionary users look up. Finally, we incorporate word class Information readily available in Wiktionary into our analysis to improve our results considerably.
To design effective electronic dictionaries, reliable empirical information on how dictionaries are actually being used is of great value for lexicographers. To my knowledge, no existing empirical research addresses the context of dictionary use, or, in other words, the extra-lexicographic situations in which a dictionary consultation is embedded. This is mainly due to the fact that data about these contexts are difficult to obtain. To take a first step in closing this research gap, we incorporated an open-ended question (“In which contexts or situations would you use a dictionary?”) into our first online survey (N = 684). Instead of presenting well-known facts about standardized types of usage situation, this chapter will focus on the more offbeat circumstances of dictionary use and aims of users, as they are reflected in the responses. Overall, my results indicate that there is a community whose work is closely linked with dictionaries. Dictionaries are also seen as a linguistic treasure trove for games or crossword puzzles, and as a standard which can be referred to as an authority. While it is important to emphasize that my results are only preliminary, they do indicate the potential of empirical research in this area.
This chapter summarizes the typical steps of an empirical investigation. Every step is illustrated using examples from our research project into online dictionary use or other relevant studies. This chapter does not claim to contain anything new, but presents a brief guideline for lexicographical researchers who are interested in conducting their own empirical research.
