Abstract

Abstract Classroom discourse is the central form of conveying knowledge in schools. Currently, the view on language use in schools is strongly influenced by the concept of academic language. Since learners with different language exposure in German face different learning demands, it is necessary to describe the linguistic register that students newly entering this educational setting will encounter. Against this background, an exploratory study is presented which investigates the vocabulary used by teachers and students in whole group discussion based on the data sets available via the Research and Teaching Corpus of Spoken German (FOLK). For this purpose, an operationalization of vocabulary areas is proposed that distinguishes between basic vocabulary which is further differentiated into everyday words and polyvalent words, i. e. words that also occur in academic German, lexical units that go beyond basic vocabulary but are used across subjects, and (subject-)specific vocabulary. While students show an greater use of (subject-)specific (especially nominal) vocabulary units, teachers show an greater use of polyvalent units of the basic vocabulary. The results also suggest differences in terms of the subject matter. The findings provide a first quantitative insight into the lexical characteristics of knowledge-conveying and -representing language use in classroom discourse, thus allowing hypotheses to be drawn about associated linguistic demands and learning opportunities.

口语教学交际中的语言运用。基于语料库的词汇分析

摘要课堂话语是学校知识传递的核心形式。目前，学校对语言使用的看法受到学术语言概念的强烈影响。由于在德语中接触不同语言的学习者面临不同的学习需求，有必要描述新进入这种教育环境的学生将遇到的语言语域。在这种背景下，本研究基于德国口语研究与教学语料库（FOLK）提供的数据集，对教师和学生在整个小组讨论中使用的词汇进行了探索性研究。为此，提出了词汇领域的操作化，以区分进一步分化为日常单词和多价单词的基本词汇，即也出现在学术德语中的单词、超出基本词汇但跨学科使用的词汇单元和（学科）特定词汇。虽然学生更多地使用（学科）特定（特别是名义）词汇单位，但教师更多地使用基本词汇的多价单位。研究结果还表明，在主题方面存在差异。研究结果首次对课堂话语中知识传递和表达语言使用的词汇特征进行了定量分析，从而可以对相关的语言需求和学习机会进行假设。

期刊介绍： The Zeitschrift für Angewandte Linguistik (ZfAL) is the official publication of the Gesellschaft für Angewandte Linguistik (GAL) [Society for Applied Linguistics]. It is one of the most important German journals in this field and appears biannually. ZfAL seeks to represent the entire field of applied linguistics and to give impulses for the academic discourse in all of its subdisciplines (e.g. phonetics and speech science, lexicography, grammar and grammar theory, text linguistics and stylistics, discourse studies, media communication, specialized communication, sociolinguistics, language contact and multilingualism, intercultural communication and multilingual discourses, translation/interpretation studies, language didactics, media didactics and media competence, computer linguistics, among others). The emphasis of applied linguistics is on the transfer of linguistic methods and insights to the professional practice of those whose work concerns language, language use and communication.
