The relative order of dative and accusative objects in older German is less free than it is today. The reason for this could be that speakers of the direct predecessor of Old High German organized the referents according to the Thematic Hierarchy. If one applies a Case Hierarchy Nom>Acc>Dat to this, the order Nom - Dat - Acc falls out. It becomes apparent that the status of the Thematic Hierarchy is not a factor governing underlying word order, but a factor inducing scrambling. Arguments from binding theory, whose validity is discussed, indicate that the underlying order is ‘accusative before dative’
Drawing upon the transformative power of questions, the paper investigates questioning sequences from authentic coaching data to examine the systematic use of a particular succession of formulation and question and its impact on inviting self-reflection processes in the client and eliciting change. The object of investigation in this paper are therefore questioning sequences in which a coach asks a question immediately after a rephrasing or relocating action, prompting the client to respond in an explicit or implicit way. The coach hereby shifts the focus to a hypothetical scenario, prompting the client to change her perspective on the matter and reflect on her own statements, ideas and attitudes from an outside perspective. The paper aims to contribute to closing the research gap of the change potential of reflection-stimulating action techniques used by coaches, by investigating one of many ways of how questions can be powerful tools to invite a change of perspective for the client. The study focuses on one coaching process consisting of three sessions between a female coach and a female client, utilizing a single case study approach. The data collection was part of the interdisciplinary project “Questioning Sequences in Coaching”, comprising 14 authentic coaching processes. The analysis follows Peräkylä’s Transformative Sequences model, examining the first position including the formulation and the subsequent question, the client’s response, and the coach’s reaction to the response. On a practical level, the main purpose of this paper is not to contribute to the many ways practical literature recommends coaches how to do their work and how to ask questions, but rather to show in what ways the elicitation of self-reflection processes in clients has been achieved by other coaches in authentic coaching sessions.
This manual serves to describe and evaluate a coaching-specific typology of questions and, building on this, of questioning sequences. Based on an interdisciplinary, psychological and linguistic/conversation analytical approach, a rating instrument has been developed in order to qualitatively and quantitatively capture questions and questioning sequences in the coaching process. The aim is to distinguish between more and less successful sequences. It is assumed that successful sequences contribute to the overall success of the coaching conversation.The success of the questioning sequences is evaluated by examining the responsiveness of coach and coachee. Responsiveness refers to the verbal actions of both participants in the conversation (Graf & Dionne 2021) and is understood in this manual both at the level of individual sequence positions as well as the entire questioning sequence. The responsiveness of the participants in the conversation and the success of the questioning sequences are considered in relation to the organizational structure of the coaching conversation. The manual is based on dyadic coaching conversations between coaches and coachees from the area of business/work-related coaching. Coaches' questions serve as a starting point (target action) (Peräkylä 2019) for a questioning sequence.
Recent typological studies have shown that socio-linguistic factors have a substantial effect on at least certain structures of language. However, we are still far from understanding how such factors should be operationalized and how they interact with other factors in shaping grammar. To address both questions, this study examines the influence of socio-linguistic factors on the number of dedicated conditional constructions in a sample of 374 languages. We test the number of speakers, the degree of multilingualism, the availability of a literature tradition, the use of writing, and the use of the language in the education system. At the same time, we control for genealogical, contact, and bibliographical biases. Our results suggest that the number of speakers is the most informative predictor. However, we find that the association between the number of speakers and the number of dedicated conditional constructions is much weaker than assumed, once genealogical and contact biases are controlled for.
A constructicon, i.e., a structured inventory of constructions, essentially aims at documenting functions of lexical and grammatical constructions. Among other parameters, so-called constructional collo-profiles, as introduced by Herbst (2018, 2020), are conclusive for determining constructional meanings. They provide information on how relevant individual words are for construction slots, they hint at usage preferences of constructions and serve as a helpful indicator for semantic peculiarities of constructions. However, even though collo-profiles constitute an indispensable component of constructicon entries, they pose major challengers for constructicographers: For a constructicographic enterprise it is not feasible to conduct collostructional analyses for hundreds or even thousands of constructions. In this article, we introduce a procedure based on the large language model BERT that allows to predict collo-profiles without having to extensively annotate instances of constructions in a given corpus. Specifically, by discussing the constructions X macht Y ADJP (‘x makes Y ADJ’, e.g. he drives him crazy) and N1 PREP N1 (e.g., bumper to bumper, constructions over constructions), we show how the developed automated system generates collo-profiles based on a limited number of annotated instances. Finally, we place collo-profiles alongside other dimensions of constructional meanings included in the German Constructicon.
Poetic diction routinely involves two complementary classes of features: (i) parallelisms, i.e. repetitive patterns (rhyme, metre, alliteration, etc.) that enhance the predictability of upcoming words, and (ii) poetic deviations that challenge standard expectations/predictions regarding regular word form and order. The present study investigated how these two prediction-modulating fundamentals of poetic diction affect the cognitive processing and aesthetic evaluation of poems, humoristic couplets and proverbs. We developed quantitative measures of these two groups of text features. Across the three text genres, higher deviation scores reduced both comprehensibility and aesthetic liking whereas higher parallelism scores enhanced these. The positive effects of parallelism are significantly stronger than the concurrent negative effects of the features of deviation. These results are in accord with the hypothesis that art reception involves an interplay of prediction errors and prediction error minimization, with the latter paving the way for processing fluency and aesthetic liking.
Exploration und statistisch valide Analysen annotierter Textkorpora helfen bei der induktiven Aufdeckung systematischer Schreibgebrauchsmuster. Umgekehrt lassen sich – deduktiv – Vorgaben der kodifizierten Norm (amtliches Regelwerk) quantitativ überprüfen. Wir präsentieren eine Methodik für die empirisch informierte Beschreibung orthografisch motivierter Phänomene, gehen auf prototypische Fälle ein und werfen ein Schlaglicht auf Fallstricke der Korpusnutzung für die Orthografieforschung. Abschließend skizzieren wir Funktionen und Wirkungsweisen aggregierender Visualisierungen für die Forschungskommunikation am Beispiel des amtlichen Wörterverzeichnisses.
Die ISO hat jetzt mit der ISO 24495-1 die erste Norm für Einfache Sprache veröffentlicht, die die schriftliche Kommunikation verbessern soll. Sie enthält Grundsätze für Einfache Sprache, Techniken und eine Checkliste für die konkrete Anwendung. Auf diese Weise vermittelt die ISO 24495-1 ein klares Verständnis davon, was Einfache Sprache ist und wie man sie erreichen kann. Ziel ist, Autor*innen dabei zu helfen, verständliche Texte für eine breite Leserschaft zu erstellen.
Rejecting the validity of inferred attributions of incompetence in German talk-in-interaction
(2024)
This paper deals with pragmatic inference from the perspective of Conversation Analysis. In particular, we examine a specific variety of inferences - the attribution of incompetence which Self constructs on the basis of Other's prior action, hearable as positioning Self as incompetent (e.g., instructions, offers of assistance, advice); this attribution of incompetence concerns Self's execution of some practical task. This inference is indexed in Self's response, which highlights Self's expertise, or competence concerning the task at hand. We focus on two recurrent types of such responses in our data: (i) accounting for competence through formulations of prior experience with carrying out a practical action and (ii) explicit claims of competence for accomplishing this action. We analyze the interactional environments in which these responses occur, the ways in which the two practices index Self's understanding of being positioned as incompetent and the interactional work they do. Finally, we discuss how through rejecting and inferred attribution of incompetence, Self implicitly seeks to restore their face and defend their autonomy as an agent, yet, without entering an explicit identity-negotiation. Findings rest on the analysis of 20 cases found in video-recordings of naturally occurring talk-in-interaction in German from the corpus FOLK.
Der vorliegende Text unternimmt den Versuch, einen Beitrag zur grammatischen Analyse von Ellipsen zu leisten, indem kontextkontrollierte Ellipsen und Strukturellipsen konstruktionsgrammatisch verortet und interpretiert werden. In diesem Zusammenhang soll vor allem die Frage nach ihrem eventuellen Konstruktionsstatus im Mittelpunkt stehen. Wie sich zeigen wird, werden die beiden markanten Vertreter der Ellipsenwelt (Analepse und Strukturellipse) diesbezüglich unterschiedlich bewertet. Da der Phänomenbereich in beiden Hauptklassen eine Menge unterschiedlicher Formate und Typen umfasst (zu einem Überblick vgl. Hennig 2013: 447-448), kann die vorgelegte Analyse nur exemplarisch erfolgen und erhebt somit keinen Anspruch auf Vollständigkeit. Dennoch soll sie der Bedingung der Generalisierbarkeit theoretischer Annahmen insofern gerecht werden, als die beiden Hauptklassen (Analepse und Strukturellipse) genauer untersucht werden, die m. E. zwei entgegengesetzte Eckpunkte des Spektrums möglicher Ellipsen darstellen und somit in analytischer Perspektive, so auch in der konstruktionsgrammatischen Theoriebildung aus meiner Sicht besondere Aufmerksamkeit verdienen.
