Linguistic dynamics in heritage speakers
This collective volume investigates linguistic dynamics in language contact, focusing on heritage speakers. The chapters provide new insights into the role of speaker repertoires and the distinction between contact-induced change and language-internal variation by reporting on corpus-linguistic studies across different communicative situations in heritage and majority languages. Conducted in the context of the DFG Research Unit “Emerging Grammars in Language Contact Situations” (FOR 2537), the studies focus on bilingual adolescent and adult speakers of German, Greek, Russian and Turkish as heritage languages, and of English and German as majority languages, and on monolingually raised ad...
Exploring Structures in Languages and Language Contact
The contributions of this volume offer fresh insights into different aspects of grammatical structures. Language contact is the primary focus of several contributions, addressing various aspects of this topic, including lexical borrowings, creole languages, and other contact effects. Ranging from typological perspectives on grammatical structures to individual case studies, the volume sheds light on the complex processes underlying linguistic diversity worldwide.
Category Change from a Constructional Perspective
Category change, broadly defined as the shift from one word class to another, is often studied as part of other changes, such as grammaticalization or lexicalization, but not in its own right. This volume offers a survey of different types of category change and their properties, e.g. abrupt versus gradual changes, morphological versus syntactic changes, or context-independent versus context-sensitive changes. The purpose of this collection of papers is to explore the concepts of linguistic category and category change from the perspective of Construction Grammar. Using data from a variety of languages, the authors address a number of themes that are central to current theorizing about category change, such as the question of whether or not categories should be considered discrete entities, how new categories arise, or whether category change can be considered as the emergence of a new construction, i.e. a new form-meaning pairing. The novel approach advanced in this volume will be of interest to historical linguists as well as to general linguists working on the nature of linguistic categories.
Formulaic Language and New Data
The existence of formulaic patterns has been attested to all languages of the world. However, systematic research in this field has been focused on only a few European standard languages with a rich literary tradition and a high degree of written norm. It was on the basis of these data that the theoretical framework and methodological approaches were developed. The volume shifts this focus by centering the investigation on new data, including data from lesser-used languages and dialects, extra-european languages, linguistic varieties mostly used in spoken domains as well as at previous historical stages of language development. Their inclusion challenges the existing postulates at both a the...
Anwendung und Verständnis ausgewählter Phraseologismen bei polnisch-deutschen Bilingualen
Bachelorarbeit aus dem Jahr 2021 im Fachbereich Germanistik - Linguistik, Note: 1,1, Universität Leipzig (Institut für Slavistik), Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Phraseologismen existieren seit tausenden von Jahren, doch die Wissenschaft, die sich mit der Thematik auseinandersetzt, ist noch sehr jung. Diese Arbeit betrachtet Phraseologismen nur aus sprachwissenschaftlicher Perspektive. Im Hauptteil wird ersichtlich, dass die Phraseologieforschung häufig an ihre Grenzen stößt und auf viele Lücken trifft. Das Gleiche betrifft die psycholinguistische Forschung innerhalb der Phraseologie. Zwar existieren in diesem Forschungsfeld bereits zahlreiche Hypothesen verschiedenster Forscher, doch man...
Linguistic dynamics in heritage speakers : Insights from the RUEG group
This collective volume investigates linguistic dynamics in language contact, focusing on heritage speakers. The chapters provide new insights into the role of speaker repertoires and the distinction between contact-induced change and language-internal variation by reporting on corpus-linguistic studies across different communicative situations in heritage and majority languages. Conducted in the context of the DFG Research Unit “Emerging Grammars in Language Contact Situations” (FOR 2537), the studies focus on bilingual adolescent and adult speakers of German, Greek, Russian and Turkish as heritage languages, and of English and German as majority languages, and on monolingually raised ad...
Code-Switching
This book systematically discusses the link between bilingual language production and its manifestation in historical documents, drawing together two branches of linguistics which have much in common but are traditionally dealt with separately. By combining the study of historical mixed texts with the principles of modern code-switching and bilingualism research, the author argues that the cognitive processes underpinning the human capacity to produce mixed utterances have remained unchanged throughout history, even as the languages themselves are constantly changing. This book will be of interest to scholars of historical linguistics, syntactic theory (particularly generative grammar), language variation and change.
Strategic branding - The difficulty of the term and trademark "Fußball WM 2006"
Scientific Essay from the year 2009 in the subject Business economics - Offline Marketing and Online Marketing, grade: 1,3, Carl von Ossietzky University of Oldenburg, course: Intellectual Property, language: English, abstract: The Football World Cup ushers a gigantic marketing machinery where particularly industries such as tourism, catering, culture and media are hoping to gain massive revenues. Yet the commercialisation of this event does not only bring marketing managers, but also lawyers on board, because the major part of the earnings of those events are not formed by the ticket sales, but by the sponsorship money. Since the 1980s, sport-sponsoring has increased constantly, due to the ...
