Markus Hundt - Böcker

In the 17th century, "language work" was a programme for implementing theoretical linguistic knowledge (e.g. through language games). The objective was to enhance the status of German in the European context and equip it for use in all communicative domains. In this text, the author explicates the programme, its most important adherents, and all the areas in which it was used. The study demonstrates how reflected language practice made an important contribution to the establishment and standardization of New High German.

Das DFG-Projekt „Der deutsche Sprachraum aus Sicht linguistischer Laien – wahrnehmungsdialektologische Grundlagenforschung und die Rekonstruktion von Laienkonzeptualisierungen zur deutschen Sprache" hatte linguistische, geographische, soziale, kognitive und visualisierte Raumkonzeptionen von regionalen Varietäten des Deutschen aus der Sicht deutschsprachiger linguistischer Laien zum Gegenstand. Im vorliegenden Band werden erstmals Ergebnisse aus allen Bereichen der Untersuchung vorgestellt: Wie konzeptualisieren linguistische Laien ihren sprachlichen Nähebereich? Wie sieht die dialektale Landkarte (mental map) linguistischer Laien aus, wenn der gesamte deutschsprachige Raum im Fokus ist? Welche sprachlichen Merkmale sind für die Gewährspersonen salient (perzipierte und assoziierte Dialektmerkmale)? In welcher Weise haben linguistische Laien überhaupt Zugriff auf ihr eigenen Varietätenwissen und wie ist dieses Wissen strukturiert? Welche Sprachnormvorstellungen haben linguistische Laien? Wie werden einzelne Dialekträume konzeptualisiert und welche Einflüsse sind z.B. durch die regionale Herkunft der Probanden messbar? Der Band bietet somit eine vielseitige Literaturgrundlage für Forschende und fortgeschrittene Studierende.

The series Sprache und Wissen [Language and Knowledge] is a publication platform for high-quality papers on German linguistics with interdisciplinary focus. The series takes on current trends in the scientific community from a linguistic perspective in order to show how general and expert knowledge are made possible through language and gain perspective through it. The linguistic treatment of discursive knowledge formats aims to advance the field of linguistics and other sciences interested in language in an innovative way. The series presents papers with semantic, pragmatic, and syntactic approaches from the perspective of variety-specific as well as text- and discourse-linguistic cognitive interest. The series welcomes monographs as well as systematically-structured anthologies and conference proceedings. Editorial Board:Markus HundtWolf-Andreas LiebertJuliane SchröterBerbeli WanningIngo H.
