The paper provides a survey about grammatical variation in German and discusses the consequences for grammar books: How can they describe systematic differences between several varieties as well as the core system of German as an individual language? Proceeding from the differentiation between extra- and intralinguistic explanations for grammatical variation and from theoretic considerations on the notion of 'system' the paper discusses different possibilities of modeling the relationship between system and variation. It argues for a modular concept with a core system that provides the option of internal variation and modular systems that contain grammatical phenomena which are specific for certain varieties.
The paper attempts to bridge the gap between semantics and the conceptualization and teaching of grammar at secondary school exemplarily concerning German demonstratives dies- and jen-. I show that existing accounts of these demonstratives in reference grammars and school books are far from being satisfactory, whilst at least for dies-, if not for jen-, there exist comprehensive linguistic analyses. I adapt these to offer a semantic analysis for jen- using corpus data from modern German with pronominal and adnominal jen-, and propose a didactically applicable category of 'shared mental space' of the speaker and the hearer for the demonstratives: I argue that speakers use demonstrative reference to anchor the referent inside resp. outside their and the hearers' shared mental space.
MULLE is a tool for language learning that focuses on teaching Latin as a foreign language. It is aimed for easy integration into the traditional classroom setting and syllabus, which makes it distinct from other language learning tools that provide standalone learning experience. It uses grammar-based lessons and embraces methods of gamification to improve the learner motivation. The main type of exercise provided by our application is to practice translation, but it is also possible to shift the focus to vocabulary or morphology training.
We present a language learning application that relies on grammars to model the learning outcome. Based on this concept we can provide a powerful framework for language learning exercises with an intuitive user interface and a high reliability. Currently the application aims to augment existing language classes and support students by improving the learner attitude and the general learning outcome. Extensions beyond that scope are promising and likely to be added in the future.
This paper aims to describe different patterns of syntactic extensions of turns-at-talk in mundane conversations in Czech. Within interactional linguistics, same-speaker continuations of possibly complete syntactic structures have been described for typologically diverse languages, but have not yet been investigated for Slavic languages. Based on previously established descriptions of various types of extensions (Vorreiter 2003; Couper-Kuhlen & Ono 2007), our initial description shall therefore contribute to the cross-linguistic exploration of this phenomenon. While all previously described forms for continuing a turn-constructional unit seem to exist in Czech, some grammatical features of this language (especially free word order and strong case morphology) may lead to problems in distinguishing specific types of syntactic extensions. Consequently, this type of language allows for critically evaluating the cross-linguistic validity of the different categories and underlines the necessity of analysing syntactic phenomena within their specific action contexts.

Aus der etwas apophtegmatischen Formulierung des Titels lässt sich die Behauptung ableiten, eine Grammatik der politischen Sprache gebe es nicht. Das kann nun dreierlei heißen: Zum ersten könnte gemeint sein, es gebe keine politische Sprache - womit sich die Frage nach ihrer Grammatik a fortiori erübrigt. Weniger voraussetzungsreich und daher unmittelbar plausibler erscheint ein Verständnis, nach der es zwar eine politische Sprache gebe, diese aber keine eigene Grammatik habe. Vielleicht ist auch die dritte Lesart nur eine spezifischere Interpretation dieser zweiten Lesart: Es sei gar nicht so wichtig, was der Terminus „politische Sprache“ genau bedeute und was ihm in einer wahrscheinlichen Wirklichkeit entspreche. Auf jeden Fall sei sprachliches Interagieren im politischen Raum ein Spezialfall öffentlichen Agierens (unter spezifischen gesellschaftlichen/politischen Konstellationen) insgesamt und zeige daher entsprechende grammatische Präferenzen. Wir wollen in diesem Beitrag Argumente für diese letzte Position versammeln.
