This paper investigates emergent pseudo-coordination in spoken German. In a corpus-based study, seven verbs in the first conjunct are analyzed regarding the degree of semantic bleaching and the development of subjective or aspectual meaning components. Moreover, it is shown that each verb shows distinct tendencies for co-ocurrences, especially with deictic adverbs in the first conjunct and with specific verbs and verb classes in the second conjunct. It is argued that pseudo-coordination is originally motivated by the need for ‘chunking’ in unplanned speech and that it is still prominently used in this function in German, in contrast to languages in which pseudo-coordination is grammaticalized further.
Das Forschungs- und Lehrkorpus Gesprochenes Deutsch (FOLK), zugänglich über die Datenbank für Gesprochenes Deutsch (DGD), strebt den Status eines Referenzkorpus für den aktuellen mündlichen Sprachgebrauch im deutschen Sprachraum an. Es enthält einen wachsenden Bestand von Audio- und Videoaufnahmen authentischer Gespräche aus verschiedenen Bereichen des gesellschaftlichen Lebens. Die Dokumentation und Repräsentation von Interaktions- und Sprecherinformationen sind bereits seit den Anfängen des Korpusaufbaus integrale Bestandteile von FOLK. Allerdings lag bislang kein ausgearbeitetes, empirisch erprobtes und vollständig in die Korpusinfrastruktur integrierbares Stratifikationskonzept vor. Mit dem vorliegenden Artikel wird ein solches Konzept vorgeschlagen. Es knüpft an frühere Konzeptionen an und wurde anhand der vorhandenen Daten überprüft, korrigiert und erweitert. Dieser Prozess verlief parallel zur Überarbeitung des XML-Schemas zur Metadatendokumentation, um die konkrete Implementierung vorzubereiten. Im Anschluss an eine Skizzierung genereller Aspekte des Korpusdesigns werden die stratifikationsleitenden und ergänzenden Parameter vorgestellt und erläutert. Abschließend werden Ansätze und Strategien zum Korpusausbau diskutiert.
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 the context of the HyTex project, our goal is to convert a corpus into a hypertext, basing conversion strategies on annotations which explicitly mark up the text-grammatical structures and relations between text segments. Domain-specific knowledge is represented in the form of a knowledge net, using topic maps. We use XML as an interchange format. In this paper, we focus on a declarative rule language designed to express conversion strategies in terms of text-grammatical structures and hypertext results. The strategies can be formulated in a concise formal syntax which is independend of the markup, and which can be transformed automatically into executable program code.
Within cognitive linguistics, there is an increasing awareness that the study of linguistic phenomena needs to be grounded in usage. Ideally, research in cognitive linguistics should be based on authentic language use, its results should be replicable, and its claims falsifiable. Consequently, more and more studies now turn to corpora as a source of data. While corpus-based methodologies have increased in sophistication, the use of corpus data is also associated with a number of unresolved problems. The study of cognition through off-line linguistic data is, arguably, indirect, even if such data fulfils desirable qualities such as being natural, representative and plentiful. Several topics in this context stand out as particularly pressing issues. This discussion note addresses (1) converging evidence from corpora and experimentation, (2) whether corpora mirror psychological reality, (3) the theoretical value of corpus linguistic studies of ‘alternations’, (4) the relation of corpus linguistics and grammaticality judgments, and, lastly, (5) the nature of explanations in cognitive corpus linguistics. We do not claim to resolve these issues nor to cover all possible angles; instead, we strongly encourage reactions and further discussion.
The current paper presents a corpus containing 35 dialogues of spontaneously spoken southern German, including half an hour of articulography for 13 of the speakers. Speakers were seated in separate recording chambers, mimicking a telephone call, and recorded on individual audio channels. The corpus provides manually corrected word boundaries and automatically aligned segment boundaries. Annotations are provided in the Praat format. In addition to audio recordings, speakers filled out a detailed questionnaire, assessing among others their audio-visual consumption habits.
