Olaf Scholz gendert. Eine Analyse von Personenbezeichnungen in Weihnachts- und Neujahrsansprachen
(2022)
Schlagzeilen wie die in unserer Überschrift blieben im Januar 2022 aus. Dabei enthielt die erste Neujahrsansprache von Olaf Scholz kein einziges generisches Maskulinum, sondern Doppelformen (Mitbürgerinnen und Mitbürger, Expertinnen und Experten), geschlechtsabstrahierende Ausdrücke (Eltern, Familien, Geimpfte, Menschen) und Personalisierungen bzw. Umschreibungen wie uns allen, es haben sich 60 Millionen […] impfen lassen, oder ich möchte allen danken. Die Rede nutzt somit durchgängig verschiedene Formen geschlechtergerechter Sprache, wohl aber so unauffällige Formen, dass dies keine mediale Aufmerksamkeit auf sich gezogen hat. Nebenbei: Dies zeigt, dass es bei den hitzigen öffentlichen Diskussionen rund um das Thema nicht um alle Formen geschlechtergerechter Sprache geht, sondern eigentlich nur um bestimmte Formen, wie z.B. die Verwendung des Gendersterns. Wir stellen hier einige Beobachtungen basierend auf einem annotierten Korpus von Ansprachen vor, die Sie selbst anhand einer Online-App nachvollziehen können.
This thesis is a corpus linguistic investigation of the language used by young German speakers online, examining lexical, morphological, orthographic, and syntactic features and changes in language use over time. The study analyses the language in the Nottinghamer Korpus deutscher YouTube‐Sprache ("Nottingham corpus of German YouTube language", or NottDeuYTSch corpus), one of the first large corpora of German‐language comments taken from the videosharing website YouTube, and built specifically for this project. The metadatarich corpus comprises c.33 million tokens from more than 3 million comments posted underneath videos uploaded by mainstream German‐language youthorientated YouTube channels from 2008‐2018.
The NottDeuYTSch corpus was created to enable corpus linguistic approaches to studying digital German youth language (Jugendsprache), having identified the need for more specialised web corpora (see Barbaresi 2019). The methodology for compiling the corpus is described in detail in the thesis to facilitate future construction of web corpora. The thesis is situated at the intersection of Computer‐Mediated Communication (CMC) and youth language, which have been important areas of sociolinguistic scholarship since the 1980s, and explores what we can learn from a corpus‐driven, longitudinal approach to (online) youth language. To do so, the thesis uses corpus linguistic methods to analyse three main areas:
1. Lexical trends and the morphology of polysemous lexical items. For this purpose, the analysis focuses on geil, one of the most iconic and productive words in youth language, and presents a longitudinal analysis, demonstrating that usage of geil has decreased, and identifies lexical items that have emerged as potential replacements. Additionally, geil is used to analyse innovative morphological productiveness, demonstrating how different senses of geil are used as a base lexeme or affixoid in compounding and derivation.
2. Syntactic developments. The novel grammaticalization of several subordinating conjunctions into both coordinating conjunctions and discourse markers is examined. The investigation is supported by statistical analyses that demonstrate an increase in the use of non‐standard syntax over the timeframe of the corpus and compares the results with other corpora of written language.
3. Orthography and the metacommunicative features of digital writing. This analysis identifies orthographic features and strategies in the corpus, e.g. the repetition of certain emoji, and develops a holistic framework to study metacommunicative functions, such as the communication of illocutionary force, information structure, or the expression of identities. The framework unifies previous research that had focused on individual features, integrating a wide range of metacommunicative strategies within a single, robust system of analysis.
By using qualitative and computational analytical frameworks within corpus linguistic methods, the thesis identifies emergent linguistic features in digital youth language in German and sheds further light on lexical and morphosyntactic changes and trends in the language of young people over the period 2008‐2018. The study has also further developed and augmented existing analytical frameworks to widen the scope of their application to orthographic features associated with digital writing.

Sprechen im Umbruch. Zeitzeugen erzählen und argumentieren rund um den Fall der Mauer im Wendekorpus
(2019)
Am Beispiel des an der Universität Oslo entwickelten Oslo Multilingual Corpus (OMC) wird illustriert, wie ein Parallelkorpus aus Originaltexten und deren Übersetzungen zur sprachvergleichenden Erforschung von Phänomenen der Satzverbindung und der Informationsverteilung auf Satz- und Textebene eingesetzt werden kann. Nach einer Skizze der OMC-Architektur wird eine Untersuchung von Satzverknüpfungen mit dem komitativen Konnektor „wobei“ und deren Entsprechungen in norwegischen Übersetzungen und Originaltexten vorgestellt, die dazu beiträgt, Bedeutungsfacetten dieses Konnektors aufzuzeigen, die in rein intralingualen Studien nicht so einfach zu erkennen sind, und dadurch einen besseren und systematischeren Einblick in die angewandten Übersetzungsstrategien gibt. Als zweites Einsatzbeispiel wird eine explorative Untersuchung zur Elaborierung von Ereignisbeschreibungen vorgestellt, die deutsche, norwegische, englische und französische Entsprechungen von „mit“-Konstruktionen (sog. „Sätzchen“) als Ausgangspunkt nimmt. Beide Studien illustrieren, dass ein Parallelkorpus auch ohne komplexe Annotierungen nicht nur für wort-basierte quantitative Untersuchungen verwertet werden, sondern auch im Zuge weniger zielgerichteter, eher qualitativ angelegter Studien als „Augenöffner“ für komplexe linguistische Phänomene dienen kann.
All linguistics should be media linguistics, but it is not. This thesis is presented by using linguistic landscapes as an example. LL research does not belong to the traditional core of either mainstream linguis-tics or media linguistics. This is why not everything within power has been done yet to make full use of their thematic, conceptual and methodological possibilities. Visible signs in public space, however, are an everyday phenomenon. You have to pull out all the stops to research them extensively. The distinction between linguistics and media linguistics turns out to be counterproductive. But this does not only apply to the case of linguistic landscapes. It also stands for any comprehensive investigation of language and language use. (Ex-ceptions may be very narrow questions for specific purposes.) The above thoughts are supported by a database of the project „Metro-polenzeichen“ with more than 25.000 systematically collected, ge-ocoded and tagged photographs.
In der Geschichte der Sprachwissenschaft hat das Lexikon in unterschiedlichem Maße Aufmerksamkeit erfahren. In jüngerer Zeit ist es vor allem durch die Verfügbarkeit sprachlicher Massendaten und die Entwicklung von Methoden zu ihrer Analyse wieder stärker ins Zentrum des Interesses gerückt. Dies hat aber nicht nur unseren Blick für lexikalische Phänomene geschärft, sondern hat gegenwärtig auch einen profunden Einfluss auf die Entstehung neuer Sprachtheorien, beginnend bei Fragen nach der Natur lexikalischen Wissens bis hin zur Auflösung der Lexikon-Grammatik-Dichotomie. Das Institut für Deutsche Sprache hat diese Entwicklungen zum Anlass genommen, sein aktuelles Jahrbuch in Anknüpfung an die Jahrestagung 2017 – „Wortschätze: Dynamik, Muster, Komplexität“ – der Theorie des Lexikons und den Methoden seiner Erforschung zu widmen.
Vorwort

We present the annotation of information structure in the MULI project. To learn more about the information structuring means in prosody, syntax and discourse, theory- independent features were defined for each level. We describe the features and illustrate them on an example sentence. To investigate the interplay of features, the representation has to allow for inspecting all three layers at the same time. This is realised by a stand-off XML mark-up with the word as the basic unit. The theory-neutral XML stand-off annotation allows integrating this resource with other linguistic resources such as the Tiger Treebank for German or the Penn treebank for English.
While written corpora can be exploited without any linguistic annotations, speech corpora need at least a basic transcription to be of any use for linguistic research. The basic annotation of speech data usually consists of time-aligned orthographic transcriptions. To answer phonetic or phonological research questions, phonetic transcriptions are needed as well. However, manual annotation is very time-consuming and requires considerable skill and near-native competence. Therefore it can take years of speech corpus compilation and annotation before any analyses can be carried out. In this paper, approaches that address the transcription bottleneck of speech corpus exploitation are presented and discussed, including crowdsourcing the orthographic transcription, automatic phonetic alignment, and query-driven annotation. Currently, query-driven annotation and automatic phonetic alignment are being combined and applied in two speech research projects at the Institut für Deutsche Sprache (IDS), whereas crowdsourcing the orthographic transcription still awaits implementation.
We present an XML-based metadata standard for the documentation of speech and multimedia corpora that was developed at the Institute for German Language (IDS) in Mannheim, Germany. The IDS is one of the major institutions providing German speech and language corpora to researchers. These corpora stem from many different sources and were previously documented in a rather heterogeneous fashion using a variety of data models and formats. In order to unify the documentation for existing and future corpora, the IDS- internal Archive for Spoken German collaborated with several projects and developed a set of standardised XML metadata schemas. These XML schemas build on existing internal and external documentation schemas (such as IMDI) and take into account the workflow of speech corpus production. In order to minimise redundancy, separate schemas were designed for projects, speakers, recording sessions, and entire corpora. The resulting schemas are tested in ongoing speech and multi-media projects at the IDS and are regularly revised. They are accompanied by element definitions, guidelines, and examples. In addition, a mapping to IMDI will be provided.
