"Standard language" is a contested concept, ideologically, empirically and theoretically. This is particularly true for a language such as German, where the standardization of the spoken language was based on the written standard and was established with respect to a communicative situation, i.e. public speech on stage (Bühnenaussprache), which most speakers never come across. As a consequence, the norms of the oral standard exhibit many features which are infrequent in the everyday speech even of educated speakers. This paper discusses ways to arrive at a more realistic conception of (spoken) standard German, which will be termed "standard usage". It must be founded on empirical observations of speakers linguistic choices in everyday situations. Arguments in favor of a corpus-based notion of standard have to consider sociolinguistic, political, and didactic concerns. We report on the design of a large study of linguistic variation conducted at the Institute for the German Language (project "Variation in Spoken German", Variation des gesprochenen Deutsch) with the aim of arriving at a representative picture of "standard usage" in contemporary German. It systematically takes into account both diatopic variation covering the multi-national space in which German an official language, and diastratic variation in terms of varying degrees of formality. Results of the study of phonetic and morphosyntactic variation are discussed. At least for German, a corpus-based notion of "standard usage" inevitably includes some degree of pluralism concerning areal variation, and it needs to do justice to register-based variation as well.
Die Textsorte Gebet hat zwar eine klare formale Struktur und auch aus sprech- akttheoretischer Perspektive lassen sich einige Aussagen treffen. Über den Inhalt von Gebeten liegen uns jedoch noch zu wenige Erkenntnisse vor. Dabei sehen sich Linguisten vor allem methodischen Problemen gegenüber. So ist der Wortlaut privater Gebete kaum zugänglich. Im vorliegenden Aufsatz wird eine als Pretest konzipierte Fragebogenstudie vorgestellt, die verschiedene Aspekte des Betens thematisiert. Es werden Tendenzen aufgezeigt, ob und wie Menschen im Gebet Emotionen verbalisieren. Auch über die Konzeptualisierung von Gott, die der Kommunikation zugrunde liegt, lassen sich Annahmen ableiten. In diesem Zusammenhang werden die Textsortenspezifika des Gebets diskutiert.

In this paper, some tendencies in contemporary German lexicography are described with an emphasis on Internet dictionaries. Several online dictionaries of German from publishing houses or published by academic institutions are introduced representing a wide range of possible presentations of lexico-graphic information on the Internet. The examples also illustrate how modem dictionaries profit from a corpus-based approach, how information on headwords can be presented in an innovative way and how the contact with the dictionary user can be established. Research into dictionary usage is also ex-amined briefly. A short outlook on the possible future of German lexicography rounds off the survey given here.
