These are headed by nonfinite verbs, i.e. converbs, which have a converb suffix attached to the stem. The different converbs express different aspectual relations between the subordinate and the superordinate clause, and they can be modifying or non-modifying. We analyse data from speakers of Turkish as a heritage language in Germany and the U.S. as well as monolingual speakers of Turkish in Turkey. The data come from two age groups: adults and adolescents. We show that unlike in canonical Turkish, converbs in heritage Turkish can be multifunctional, meaning that they can express both simultaneity and causality, for example. Furthermore, we show that converbs in heritage Turkish can be both modifying and non-modifying. As possible factors which might be responsible for such variation, we discuss language contact, sociolinguistic differences between the speaker communities (Germany vs. the U.S.) and age of the speakers.}, language = {en} } @article{Renner2021, author = {Renner, Kaspar}, title = {Die „eine deutsche Nation" und die „vielen kleinen V{\"o}lker"}, series = {{\´E}tudes germaniques : revue trimestrielle de la Soci{\´e}t{\´e} des {\´E}tudes Germaniques}, volume = {303}, journal = {{\´E}tudes germaniques : revue trimestrielle de la Soci{\´e}t{\´e} des {\´E}tudes Germaniques}, number = {3}, editor = {Coignard, Tristan and Portes, Lidwine}, publisher = {Klincksieck}, address = {Paris}, issn = {0014-2115}, doi = {10.3917/eger.303.0301}, pages = {301 -- 320}, year = {2021}, abstract = {This article focuses on Herder's unpublished anthology of Ancient Folk Songs (1773-1775). A close reading of the prefaces reveals the dialectic of the ,national' and its critique that is inherent to the anthology. In the preface to the first book, the collection of folk songs is primarily motivated by the idea of building a German national poetry. This project of nation-building with the means of folk poetry can be considered innovative because it aims to bridge the gap between popular and scholarly culture and to activate the audience in all its cognitive and affective potentials. Moreover, the vision of national poetry is intertwined with a comparative perspective on European folkloristics, as the British culture appears as role model for the creative adaption and tradition of popular ballads and songs. Finally, in the preface to the fourth book of the anthology, the songs of ,wild' foreign peoples are not only discovered as a vital resource for the reinvention of national poetry, but, according to Herder's vision, they also constitute an archive of human affects and expressions that transcends national and cultural boundaries.}, language = {de} } @article{Keskin2021, author = {Keskin, Cem}, title = {Şey-substitution and constituent structure in Turkish}, series = {Turkic languages}, volume = {25}, journal = {Turkic languages}, number = {2}, publisher = {Harrassowitz}, address = {Wiesbaden}, issn = {1431-4983}, doi = {10.13173/TL.25.2.243}, pages = {243 -- 275}, year = {2021}, abstract = {This paper attempts to account for the syntactic distribution of the particle sey in Turkish, in particular its suffixed variant which is a placeholder for expressions that have to be inserted into the discourse later. The paper argues that the distribution of suffixed sey is determined by constituent structure, meaning that Bey can only substitute for syntactic constituents. Thus, sey acts as a pro-form, similar, for instance, to pronouns substituting for noun phrases. This has two implications: First, as sey is a quasi-universal pro-form with the ability to substitute for a wide range of constituents, sey-substitution can be used as a constituency test to peek into the constituent structure of virtually any major syntactic domain. Second, the overall sey-substitution pattern across different syntactic domains constitutes evidence for Kayne's binary branching hypothesis.}, language = {en} } @article{BoschDeCesareDemskeetal.2021, author = {Bosch, Sina and De Cesare, Ilaria and Demske, Ulrike and Felser, Claudia}, title = {New empirical approaches to grammatical variation and change}, series = {Languages : open access journal}, volume = {6}, journal = {Languages : open access journal}, number = {3}, publisher = {MDPI}, address = {Basel}, issn = {2226-471X}, doi = {10.3390/languages6030113}, pages = {3}, year = {2021}, language = {en} } @article{Ernst2021, author = {Ernst, Marion Eva}, title = {Negative menschliche Eigenschaften im Spiegel der Vogel-Metaphorik}, series = {Sprache \& Sprachen : Zeitschrift der Gesellschaft f{\"u}r Sprache und Sprachen}, journal = {Sprache \& Sprachen : Zeitschrift der Gesellschaft f{\"u}r Sprache und Sprachen}, number = {Sonderheft}, publisher = {GeSuS}, address = {Gelsenkirchen}, issn = {0934-6813}, pages = {91 -- 107}, year = {2021}, abstract = {In dem vorliegenden Beitrag wird es um Metaphern und Phraseologismen gehen, in denen sich negative menschliche Eigenschaften wie z.B.

In the German language, the capitalization of nouns and proper names presents major difficulties for both native and nonnative learners, since the definition of what is a noun varies according to one's linguistic perspective. In this paper, we hypothesize that learners use different cognitive strategies to identify nouns. To this end, we examine capitalization exercises from more than 30,000 users of an online spelling training platform. The cognitive strategies identified are syntactic, semantic, pragmatic, and morphological approaches. The strategies used by learners overlap widely but differ by individual and evolve with grade level. The results show that even though the pragmatic strategy is not taught systematically in schools, it is the most widespread and most successful strategy used by learners. We therefore suggest that highly granular learning process data can not only provide insights into learners' capabilities and enable the creation of individualized learning content but also inform curriculum development.}, language = {en} } @article{MuellerKepserSchallenberger2021, author = {M{\"u}ller, Hans-Georg and Kepser, Matthis and Schallenberger, Stefan}, title = {Getrennt- und Zusammenschreibung}, series = {Der Deutschunterricht}, journal = {Der Deutschunterricht}, number = {3}, publisher = {Friedrich Verlag GmbH}, address = {Hannover}, pages = {37 -- 48}, year = {2021}, language = {de} } @incollection{Mueller2021, author = {M{\"u}ller, Hans-Georg}, title = {Digitales Lernen am Beispiel der Rechtschreibung - alter Wein in neuen Schl{\"a}uchen oder Aufbruch in ein neues Zeitalter?}, series = {Neue Wege des Orthografieerwerbs: Forschung - Vermittlung - Reflexion}, booktitle = {Neue Wege des Orthografieerwerbs: Forschung - Vermittlung - Reflexion}, publisher = {Lemberger}, address = {Wien}, isbn = {978-3-903780-75-0}, pages = {37 -- 48}, year = {2021}, language = {de} }
