I discuss grammatical and pragmatic characteristics of this focus marker, supporting my account with natural linguistic data and with controlled experimental evidence showing that so has a significant influence on speakers' understanding of what the focus expression in a sentence is. Against this background, I sketch a possible pragmaticalization path from referential usages of so via hedging to a semantically bleached focus marker, which, unlike particles such as auch 'also'/'too' or nur 'only', does not contribute any additional meaning.}, language = {en} } @article{Wiese2007, author = {Wiese, Heike}, title = {Grammatische Relationen und rituelle Strukturen : ein evolution{\"a}rer Zusammenhang?}, year = {2007}, language = {de} } @article{Wiese2008, author = {Wiese, Heike}, title = {Der Beitrag psycholinguistischer Evidenz zur Analyse grammatischer Ph{\"a}nomene : eine Studie zur endo- vs. exozentrischen Struktur von Komposita}, isbn = {978-3-03910-793-3}, year = {2008}, language = {de} } @article{MuellerWieseMayretal.2015, author = {M{\"u}ller, Hans-Georg and Wiese, Heike and Mayr, Katharina and Kr{\"a}mer, Philipp and Seeger, Patrick and Mezger, Verena}, title = {Changing teachers' attitudes towards linguistic diversity}, series = {International Journal of Applied Linguistics}, volume = {27}, journal = {International Journal of Applied Linguistics}, number = {1}, pages = {198 -- 220}, year = {2015}, abstract = {We discuss an intervention programme for kindergarten and school teachers' continuing education in Germany that targets biases against language outside a perceived monolingual 'standard' and its speakers. The programme combines anti-bias methods relating to linguistic diversity with objectives of raising critical language awareness. Evaluation through teachers' workshops in Berlin and Brandenburg points to positive and enduring attitudinal changes in participants, but not in control groups that did not attend workshops, and effects were independent of personal variables gender and teaching subject and only weakly associated with age. We relate these effects to such programme features as indirect and inclusive methods that foster active engagement, and the combination of 'safer' topics targeting attitudes towards linguistic structures with more challenging ones dealing with the discrimination of speakers.}, language = {en} } @article{Wiese2009, author = {Wiese, Heike}, title = {Grammatical innovation in multiethnic urban Europe : new linguistic practices among adolescents}, issn = {0024-3841}, doi = {10.1016/j.lingua.2008.11.002}, year = {2009}, abstract = {This paper discusses a phenomenon that has recently been observed in areas with a large migrant population in European cities: the rise of new linguistic practices among adolescents in multiethnic contexts. The main grammatical characteristics that have been described for them are (1) phonological/phonctic and lexical influences from migrant languages and (2) morpho-syntactic reductions and simplifications. In this paper, I show that from a grammatical point of view, morpho-syntactic reductions are only part of the story. Using 'Kiezdeutsch' as an example. the German instance of such a youth language (which may be the one with most speakers), I discuss several phenomena that provide evidence for linguistic productivity and show that they evolve from a specific interplay of grammatical and pragmatic features that is typical for contact languages: grammatical reductions go hand-in-hand with productive elaborations that display a systematicity that can lead to the emergence of new constructions, indicating the innovative grammatical power of these muitiethnolects.}, language = {en} } @book{Wiese2007, author = {Wiese, Heike}, title = {Wo werden Igel zu Schweinen und Schildkr{\"o}ten zu Amphibien?
