Online-Gemeinschaften und Sprachvariation : soziolinguistische Perspektiven auf Sprache im Internet
(2003)
This paper presents a sociolinguistic perspective on language in the Internet. Most linguistic research on computer mediated communication has focused on media or genre related language variation, establishing language styles as typical for e.g. chat or newsgroups. A critical discussion of this research suggests that more attention should be paid to user related language variation. The concept of "online community" is proposed as a suitable starting point for the study of language variation on the Internet, and sociological and linguistic criteria for the definition and description of online communities are discussed. The second part of the paper presents a classification of sociolinguistically relevant variation patterns. Finally, evidence for the effect of various social factors on language use in the Internet is reviewed.
The analysis which we present in this paper is part of an ethnographically based sociolinguistic study of various immigrant youth groups and their social style of communication. The study describes the wide variety of migrant groups and their socio-cultural orientation in relation to different migrant worlds as well as to different social worlds of the dominant German society. The development of a social style of communication is grounded in the groups’ socio-cultural orientation as well as in the perception of themselves in relation to relevant others. The main purpose of our study is to analyse the construction of the groups’ social identity in terms of their social style of communication.
Aussprachevarianten des Deutschen : Überlegungen zur Gestaltung einer korpusbasierten Datenbank
(2003)
Variation in spoken Standard German as well as in various regional varieties of German has not yet been covered in full detail. This paper sketches a new research project concerned with the empirical analysis and systematic documentation of phonetic-phonological variability in spoken German. The aim of this project is to set up a corpus-based databank of pronunciation variants, which can be used for various purposes, e.g. by scholars and teachers of German as a foreign language.
