M. Brown, Andreas Schmidt, Marta Wierzba Universität Potsdam This volume is dedicated to Gisbert Fanselow on the occasion ofhis60th birthday. We provide in this preface a short socio-historical context showing how the contributions in the volume link to Gisbert’s ongoing work. The range and prolificness of Gisbert’s work has led us to tryoutsev- eral approaches. In our first drafts, we compiled lists of specific themes where Gisbert has written influential papers. In grammatical theory, for instance, some of the topics were superiority effects, partial wh- movement, scrambling, and discontinuous noun phrases. However there were too many individual areas in the end, and something of the heart of Gisbert’s work was lost in the listing. We next wrote a draft focussing on the contributions and how they could be linked to Gisbert’s work from the point of view of their con- tent. However here too, what came out most prominently, more than any one theme or topic, was Gisbert’s openness as a scholar and teacher. Each of the papers in this volume presents original work by colleagues of Gisbert, some of which were inspired by Gisbert’s writing, or by ques- tions he asked and suggestions he gave during colloquia, whilst bird- 1. We would like to thank both Caroline Féry and Artemis Alexiadou for their advice and support in planning this volume. Thanks also go to the authors for their interesting and diverse contributions, and for their prompt responses and detailed comments dur- ing the typesetting process. Our student assistants Johannes Rothert and Ulrike May provided invaluable support with the bibliographies. We would also like to thank Sarah Pertermann for the difficult task of bringing syntax and ornithology together intosuch a beautiful cover design, and the Universitätsverlag Potsdam for their support during the editing

Interestingly, these adverbs can also appear in the intermediate position, i.e., [email protected] between the demonstrative and the noun (e.g. das do Bier ‘that there beer’), which is not possible in most other varieties of European German. Our questionnaire study and several written and oral sources suggest that reinforcement has become mandatory in KEYWORDS: demonstrative contexts. We analyze this grammaticalization process as reanalysis of demonstrative; reinforcer; do/lo from a lexical head to the head of a functional Index Phrase. We also show that a German; Rhine Franconian; functional DP-shell can better cope with this kind of syntactic change and with certain Moselle Franconian; Germanic; serialization facts concerning adjoined adjectives.

  • Am-Progressives in Swabian: Some Evidence for Noun Incorporation
    AM-PROGRESSIVES IN SWABIAN: SOME EVIDENCE FOR NOUN INCORPORATION Bettina Spreng University of Saskatchewan 1. Introduction This paper summarizes the initial findings of an investigation into the syntactic and semantic properties of progressive constructions in Swabian, an Alemannic dialect of German. It is spoken in the Southwest of Germany in the state of Baden Württemberg and in parts of Bavaria. The data is elicited from speakers of a variant of Swabian spoken in Upper Swabia, an area surrounding the city of Ravensburg, located north of Lake Constance. Data was elicited from three female speakers of different ages (48, 69, 75) with low mobility. There is very little in-depth work on the syntactic properties of Swabian and, to my knowledge, no work on this particular variant. The construction that is being investigated is found in various dialects and registers of German but tends to be relegated to footnotes or assumed to be restricted to dialects in the Rhineland area, especially Cologne (Duden 2005). It is thus often named the Rhenish Progressive ‘Rheinische Verlaufsform’ in some of the descriptive and theoretical literature (Thieroff 1992, Vater 1994). However, the construction may be found in various variants of German including written German (Gárgyán 2014) despite many descriptive grammars insisting that it is restricted to one or two dialect areas or to the vernacular (Fagan 2009, Duden 2005). It thus deserves a closer look. The construction I am particularly interested in is the AM- progressive that seems to share some properties with the BEIM-progressive. Some work addressing the construction has been done for individual dialects such as Colognian (Bhatt and Schmidt 1993), Standard, Ruhr, and Low German (Andersson 1989), and Hessian (Flick and Kuhmichel 2013).

  • Vocalisations: Evidence from Germanic Gary Taylor-Raebel A
    Vocalisations: Evidence from Germanic Gary Taylor-Raebel A thesis submitted for the degree of doctor of philosophy Department of Language and Linguistics University of Essex October 2016 Abstract A vocalisation may be described as a historical linguistic change where a sound which is formerly consonantal within a language becomes pronounced as a vowel. Although vocalisations have occurred sporadically in many languages they are particularly prevalent in the history of Germanic languages and have affected sounds from all places of articulation. This study will address two main questions. The first is why vocalisations happen so regularly in Germanic languages in comparison with other language families. The second is what exactly happens in the vocalisation process. For the first question there will be a discussion of the concept of ‘drift’ where related languages undergo similar changes independently and this will therefore describe the features of the earliest Germanic languages which have been the basis for later changes. The second question will include a comprehensive presentation of vocalisations which have occurred in Germanic languages with a description of underlying features in each of the sounds which have vocalised. When considering phonological changes a degree of phonetic information must necessarily be included which may be irrelevant synchronically, but forms the basis of the change diachronically. A phonological representation of vocalisations must therefore address how best to display the phonological information whilst allowing for the inclusion of relevant diachronic phonetic information. Vocalisations involve a small articulatory change, but using a model which describes vowels and consonants with separate terminology would conceal the subtleness of change in a vocalisation.

  • Exploring Syntactic Variation by Means of “Language Production Experiments”: Methods from and Analyses on German in Austria
    Journal of Linguistic Geography (2019), 7,63–81 doi:10.1017/jlg.2019.7 Article Exploring syntactic variation by means of “Language Production Experiments”: Methods from and analyses on German in Austria Alexandra N. Lenz, Ludwig Maximilian Breuer, Matthias Fingerhuth, Anja Wittibschlager and Melanie E.-H. Seltmann University of Vienna, Vienna, Austria Abstract This article presents computer supported “language production experiments” (LPEs) as a method for the investigation of syntactic variation. It describes the setup for the investigation of numerous syntactic phenomena and provides a sample study of the German GET passive across Austria. It also suggests that LPEs offer possibilities for the targeted investigation of linguistic variation in various ways. They may be used to explore speakers’ individual linguistic repertoires and an according corpus setup can be used to examine e.g., interspeaker patterns of variation. LPEs also enable researchers to investigate which linguistic factors control or influence syntactic variation.
