We question the growing consensus in the literature that European Americans behave as a homogenous pan-ethnic coalition of voters. Seemingly below the radar of scholarship on voting groups in American politics, we identify a group of white voters that behaves differently from others: German Americans, the largest ethnic group, regionally concentrated in the ‘Swinging Midwest’. Using county level voting returns, ancestry group information from the American Community Survey (ACS), current survey data and historical census data going back as early as 1910, we provide evidence for a partisan and a non-partisan pathway that motivated German Americans to vote for Trump in 2016: a historically grown association with the Republican Party and an acquired taste for isolationist attitudes that mobilizes non-partisan German Americans to support isolationist candidates. Our findings indicate that European American experiences of migration and integration still echo into the political arena of today.
In this paper, we present an overview of freely available web applications providing online access to spoken language corpora. We explore and discuss various solutions with which the corpus providers and corpus platform developers address the needs of researchers who are working with spoken language. The paper aims to contribute to the long-overdue exchange and discussion of methods and best practices in the design of online access to spoken language corpora.
Adjektive und adjektivisch gebrauchte Partizipien als Konstituenten von Nominalgruppen werden in den Grammatiken des Deutschen und des Italienischen verallgemeinernd unter die Attribute zum Nomen gerechnet. Weithin gelten sie unter diesen sogar als prototypisch. Der vorliegende Aufsatz untersucht ihr Flexionsverhalten, ihre Linearstellung, ihre Bedeutungsbeiträge, ihren Konstituentenstatus und ihre informationeile Kennzeichnung. Er führt zu dem Ergebnis, dass die terminologische Tradition in beiden Sprachen grammatische Unterschiede verdeckt, die mehr Aufmerksamkeit verdienen würden. Die Funktionen von Adjektiven in der Nominalgruppe sind faktisch viel weniger einheitlich, als der Attributbegriff insinuiert. Unterschiede sollten in der Beschreibung differenzierter herausgearbeitet werden. Ihre kontrastive Untersuchung ist nicht nur für Grammatiker von Interesse, sondern auch fiir Lehrende des Deutschen und des Italienischen als Fremdsprache sowie der Übersetzung zwischen beiden Sprachen. Sie kann Schwierigkeiten, die im Sprach- und Übersetzungsstudium bekannt sind, systematisieren und erklären und ihre didaktische Bearbeitung erleichtern.
This paper investigates the use of linking adverbs in adversative constructions in German and Italian. In Italian those constructions are very frequently formulated with adverbs such as invece, while wordings without a lexical connective are more typical of German. Corpus data show that the syntactic und semantic conditions favouring the use of adversative adverbs are by and large the same in both languages. Lexical connectives can increase explicitness when the intended adversative interpretation is not obvious on other grounds. The higher frequency of adversative adverbs in Italian is shown to be a consequence of the more restrictive rules of the placement of prosodic accent.
Repeating the movements associated with activities such as drawing or sports typically leads to improvements in kinematic behavior: these movements become faster, smoother, and exhibit less variation. Likewise, practice has also been shown to lead to faster and smoother movement trajectories in speech articulation. However, little is known about its effect on articulatory variability. To address this, we investigate the extent to which repetition and predictability influence the articulation of the frequent German word “sie” [zi] (they). We find that articulatory variability is proportional to speaking rate and the duration of [zi], and that overall variability decreases as [zi] is repeated during the experiment. Lower variability is also observed as the conditional probability of [zi] increases, and the greatest reduction in variability occurs during the execution of the vocalic target of [i]. These results indicate that practice can produce observable differences in the articulation of even the most common gestures used in speech.
