{"title":"Modus und Tempus im Jiddischen","authors":"L.

The geographical location of Eastern Yiddish lead to looking at language contact with mostly Slavic languages. But this perspective simplifies the real language situation in two ways: on the one hand, the contact to Germanic languages (especially to German) was not completely broken off even in predominantly Slavic-speaking areas, for example via administrative languages or German-speaking settlements (language islands), and on the other hand, much more decisively, Yiddish has not suddenly ceased to be a Germanic language in the Slavic language area, so it still follows the internal rules of a continental West Germanic language. The following article examines the European Yiddish dialects, as they were collected in the 1960 s within the survey of the “Language and Culture Archive of Ashkenazic Jewry” (LCAAJ), in the mirror of a West Germanic dialect continuum. Looking at just one random area of morphosyntax as an example, we can see how analytical tendencies of Yiddish dialects fit into this continuum. A distinctive Germanic tendency is the decline of the synthetic subjunctive form in favour of analytical formations as a result of a structural remodelling of the TAM-system. Besides the analyses of the subjunctive additional evaluations of the analytic formations of the pluperfect and future are considered.","PeriodicalId":42450,"journal":{"name":"Zeitschrift Fur Dialektologie Und Linguistik","volume":"122 1","pages":"328-374"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87644961","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Vandekerckhove, Walter Daelemans","doi":"10.25162/zdl-2020-0007","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.25162/zdl-2020-0007","url":null,"abstract":"The paper discusses four generalized linear mixed models fitted to capture distinct patterns of non-standard writing practices in Flemish adolescents’ social media messages. Apart from a general model that predicts the count of all “deviations” from the Dutch formal writing standard, additional models were fitted for specific types of non-standard features. These types relate to the so-called chatspeak “maxims” of orality, brevity and expressive compensation. While the general non-standardness model reveals interesting correlations between the teenagers’ online writing style and their socio-demographic profile, the more specific models allow for a better and more nuanced sociolinguistic understanding: for different types of non-standard writing practices, they reveal distinct dynamics between the social predictors gender, age and educational track. Strikingly different gender patterns are found for the oral features, representing traditional non-standard writing, compared to the expressive features, representing new kinds of non-standard writing, bound to digital media. Furthermore, gender does not appear to be a predicting factor for the brevity-related features, except for the most theory-oriented educational track. Consequently, we argue that non-standard writing on social media platforms should not be operationalized as one comprehensive cluster of deviations from the formal writing standard, but rather as different subsets of non-standard features that, by serving different purposes, appeal to a different extent to different groups of youngsters and consequently display distinct sociolinguistic patterns. In other words, although Flemish adolescents may have access to the same pool of non-standard markers, they do not share one and the same social “digilect”.","PeriodicalId":42450,"journal":{"name":"Zeitschrift Fur Dialektologie Und Linguistik","volume":"8 1","pages":"173-201"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82298214","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This research approach helps to understand the spatial organization of varieties in a more comprehensive way, as well as the similarities and differences between them, regardless of their classification as languages or regional varieties. Nevertheless, neither modern methodology nor traditional dialectology has yet given much attention to the analysis of the lexical transfer that occurs between varieties that are in close geographical contact, be they varieties of the same or two different languages. The purpose of this article is to show how dialectometric techniques can be used to analyse the contact between linguistic varieties, as well as to identify the distributional patterns of loan words. The data analysed are taken from a Galician linguistic geography project - a Romance variety spoken in north-western Spain - carried out in the 1970s (“Atlas Linguistico Galego” - “Galician Language Atlas”). The lexical variables studied contain Galician and Spanish variants. The dialectometric methods used make it possible to identify geographical distribution patterns for the Spanish variants, to identify areas that are more resistant to the inclusion of loan words, and to evaluate the influence that extralinguistic factors can have on the distribution of loan words. Finally, the paper shows the usefulness of quantitative methods to provide a more comprehensive description of contact-induced language change.","PeriodicalId":42450,"journal":{"name":"Zeitschrift Fur Dialektologie Und Linguistik","volume":"48 1","pages":"285-306"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79040721","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
