  • Oachkatzlschwoaf: a Study of Language Choice in Ried Im Innkreis, Austria
    Oachkatzlschwoaf: A Study of Language Choice in Ried im Innkreis, Austria David Kleinberg A dissertation submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Germanic Languages and Literatures. Chapel Hill 2006 Approved by Advisor: Paul Roberge Reader: Helga Bister-Broosen Reader: Laura Janda Reader: Sidney R. Smith Reader: Roland Willemyns © 2006 David Kleinberg ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT David Kleinberg: Oachkatzlschwoaf: A Study of Language Choice in Ried im Innkreis, Austria (Under the direction of Paul Roberge) A statistical analysis of data collected via self-reporting questionnaires and participant observation in Ried im Innkreis, Austria, shows that the speakers in this community typically prefer to speak their local dialect rather than Standard German or colloquial varieties, at a significantly higher frequency in more domains than speakers in other communities of similar size in Austria. Data from Ried im Innkreis are compared with results from Steinegger (1998) and Wiesinger (1989b), in which similar surveys were distributed throughout Austria. Factors that typically correlate with the choice of dialect over colloquial or standard varieties of German in large cities in Austria, such as socioeconomic class, do not play a significant role in Ried im Innkreis due to the small size of the community. The same trends apparent in the rest of the Austria with regard to gender are apparent in Ried. Males report that they speak dialect slightly more often than females, and a decrease in dialect use by females is indicated which corresponds to typical child-raising years and retirement.
