What is the subject of German linguistics? This seemingly simple question has no obvious answer. In the ZGL’s first issue, the editors required contributions to cover the whole of the German language and to be theoretically sound but application-orientated, whereas the current ZGL-homepage defines the German language of present and history in all its differentiations as its subject matter.
Looking through the fifty volumes of ZGL, three relationships can be identified as presumably enlightening the role of language, in particular the German language: language and mind; language and language use; language and culture. Though of a different systematic type, language and data should be added as an increasingly important pairing for conceptualizing language. On this basis, I also discuss the position of linguistic studies of the German language, mirrored in the ZGL-volumes, between social, cultural and natural sciences, as well as the corresponding epistemic approaches – like explaining vs. understanding.
Der Beitrag betrachtet movierbare Personenbezeichnungen, die in einem Prädikativum mit Bezug auf ein weibliches Subjekt gebraucht werden (Typ sie ist Käufer/Käuferin). In solchen Fällen ist neben der Verwendung der movierten Personenbezeichnung auch die ihrer maskulinen Basis möglich, wobei zum tatsächlichen Gebrauch der beiden Varianten bisher widersprüchliche Angaben und kaum Daten vorlagen. Diese Untersuchung ergibt, dass die Movierung in der Prädikativkonstruktion seit dem Ahd. der Normalfall war und ist. Allerdings lassen sich einige Nischen ausmachen, in denen unmovierte Bezeichnungen etwas frequenter sind: Der mit Abstand höchste Wert findet sich bei weiblicher Selbstreferenz, während Maskulina bei weiblichen Subjekten der dritten Person Singular mit einer Ausnahme weitgehend unüblich sind. Diese Ausnahme ist der offizielle Sprachgebrauch der damaligen DDR. Öffentlichkeitsgerichtete Texte des 20./21. Jh., die nicht aus der DDR stammen, zeigen einen vermutlich gesellschaftlich bedingten Rückgang der sowieso schon seltenen unmovierten Formen ab Mitte der 1970er-Jahre.
This paper presents observations on the phonetic realisations of the German particles ja – ‘yes’ and naja – approximately ‘well’. As part of a large-scale study on the particle ja, we identified numerous instances in the dataset that had been orthographically transcribed as ja, but were phonetically realised as [nja]. Using phonetic and functional parameters, we explore the question whether these instances can be attributed to either the lexeme ja or naja. While phonetic measurements yield ambivalent results, analyses of pragmatic parameters such as function and turn position seem to indicate that [nja] was predominantly intended to be ja, although some functional differences between ja and [nja] could also be identified.
Gesprochene Lernerkorpora: Methodisch-technische Aspekte der Erhebung, Erschließung und Nutzung
(2022)
This article provides an overview of methodological and technical issues that arise in the collection, indexing and use of spoken learner corpora, i. e. corpora containing spoken utterances of learners of a target language. After an introductory discussion of the most important special features of this type of corpus that distinguish it from written language learner corpora and spoken corpora with L1 speakers, we will go into more detail on questions of corpus design. The main part of the paper is then an overview of the methodological and technical procedures of the individual steps of collecting, indexing, providing and using spoken learner corpora. The main aim of this overview is to highlight practices that can be considered best practices according to the current state of research. Finally, we outline the challenges that still exist for this type of corpus.

Dictionary usage research views dictionaries primarily as tools for solving linguistic problems. A large proportion of dictionary use now takes place online and can thus be easily monitored using tracking technologies. Using the data gathered through tracking usage data, we hope to optimize user experiences of dictionaries and other linguistic resources. Usage statistics are also used for external evaluation of linguistic resources. In this paper, we pursue the following three questions from a quantitative perspective: (1) What new insights can we gain from collecting and analysing usage data? (2) What limitations of the data and/or the collection process do we need to be aware of? (3) How can these insights and limitations inform the development and evaluation of linguistic resources?
In this paper we present the results of a survey conducted among students of German Philology at Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań in the years 2015–2017. The target group was composed of first-semester students from whom we collected data about their lexicographical competence at the start of the program. The results contain some interesting findings, e.g. students prefer online dictionaries, but the number of students using print dictionaries is comparable and we have also observed the rising number of students who use smartphone applications. The aim of the survey is to provide information for university instructors who teach German as a foreign language (DaF) and lexicography.
