This study investigates cross-language differences in pitch range and variation in four languages from two language groups: English and German (Germanic) and Bulgarian and Polish (Slavic). The analysis is based on large multi-speaker corpora (48 speakers for Polish, 60 for each of the other three languages). Linear mixed models were computed that include various distributional measures of pitch level, span and variation, revealing characteristic differences across languages and between language groups. A classification experiment based on the relevant parameter measures (span, kurtosis and skewness values for pitch distributions for each speaker) succeeded in separating the language groups.
This study presents the results of a large-scale comparison of various measures of pitch range and pitch variation in two Slavic (Bulgarian and Polish) and two Germanic (German and British English) languages. The productions of twenty-two speakers per language (eleven male and eleven female) in two different tasks (read passages and number sets) are compared. Significant differences between the language groups are found: German and English speakers use lower pitch maxima, narrower pitch span, and generally less variable pitch than Bulgarian and Polish speakers. These findings support the hypothesis that inguistic communities tend to be characterized by particular pitch profiles.
Post-field syntax and focalization strategies in National Socialist political speech. This paper deals with a syntactic feature of spoken German, i.e. post-field filling, and with its occurrence in one specific discourse type – political speech – throughout one significant period of the history of German language – National Socialism. This paper aims at pointing out the communicative pragmatic function of right dislocation in the NS political speech on the basis of some collected examples.
Das 50-jährige IDS
(2014)
Der Beitrag behandelt die Frage, inwiefern es sich bei den gegenwärtigen Russlanddeutschen (Erwachsenen und Jugendlichen der ersten Generation, Einwanderungswelle der 1990er Jahre aus Sprachinseln) um Re-Migranten handelt, welche Veränderungen in den Varietätenrepertoires stattfinden und welche Schwierigkeiten und Probleme, aber auch Vorteile sich durch diese spezifische Migrationskonfiguration für die zugewanderten Russlanddeutschen ergeben. Die besondere Situation der Re-Migration mit der spezifischen linguistisch-soziolinguistischen Problematik wird durch Beispiele aus dem aktuellen IDS-Projekt „Migrationslinguistik“ veranschaulicht. Einerseits liegen besondere varietätenlinguistische Konstellationen vor, die bei der russlanddeutschen Migrantenpopulation generationenspezifische Konturen aufweisen. Dadurch entstehen andererseits unikale linguistische Sprachkontaktbedingungen, die die sprachlich-kommunikative Integration und den Erhalt der Migrantensprache Russisch in besonderer Weise beeinflussen können.
Zur Frühgeschichte des IDS
(2014)
Der Beitrag beschreibt die Grundstruktur des Forschungsprojekts ‚Standardization in Diversity (SDiv). The case of German in Luxembourg 1795–1920‘, das im Zeitraum 2013–2016 vom Fonds National de la Recherche (Luxemburg) und der DFG gefördert wird.

This paper investigates the syntactic behaviour of adverbial clauses in contemporary German and Italian. It focuses on three main questions: (i) How many degrees of syntactic integration of adverbial clauses are there to be distinguished by an adequate grammatical description of the two languages? (ii) Which linear and hierarchical positions in the structure of the matrix sentence can be occupied by adverbial clauses? (iii) Which is the empirical distribution of adverbial clauses introduced by the conjunctions als, während, wenn, obwohl and weil in German, as well as quando, mentre, se, sebbene and perché in Italian?
Responding to question (i), a distinction is drawn between strongly integrated, weakly integrated and syntactically disintegrated adverbial clauses. There are further degrees on the gradient of syntactic integration, which are not examined in this paper. Responding to question (ii), eight classes of structural positions in the matrix sentence are identified that can be occupied by adverbial clauses. Five of them are positions of syntactic integration, three are positions of disintegration. Responding to question (iii), the distribution of the ten classes of adverbial clauses is described on the basis of a corpus of internet data. Strongly integrated, weakly integrated and disintegrated adverbial clauses show clearly different distributions within the structure of the matrix sentence. Also the semantic classes of adverbial clauses (temporal, adversative, conditional, concessive, causal) are distributed differently.
In 2010, ISO published a standard for syntactic annotation, ISO 24615:2010 (SynAF). Back then, the document specified a comprehensive reference model for the representation of syntactic annotations, but no accompanying XML serialisation. ISO’s subcommittee on language resource management (ISO TC 37/SC 4) is working on making the SynAF serialisation ISOTiger an additional part of the standard. This contribution addresses the current state of development of ISOTiger, along with a number of open issues on which we are seeking community feedback in order to ensure that ISOTiger becomes a useful extension to the SynAF reference model.
