  • German Noun Plurals in Simultaneous Bilingual vs. Successive Bilingual vs. Monolingual Kindergarten Children

    Open AccessKatharina Korecky‐kröll, Marina Čamber et al.ARTICLELanguages2024Referencias: 6

    (1) Background: The complex phenomenon of German noun plural inflection is investigated in three groups of German-speaking kindergarten children: (a) monolinguals (1L1), (b) simultaneous bilinguals (2L1) also acquiring Croatian, and (c) successive bilinguals (L2) acquiring Turkish as L1. Predictions of the usage-based schema model and of Natural Morphology concerning different linguistic variables are used to explore their impact on plural acquis…

  • Human and machine translation of occasionalisms in literary texts

    Open AccessWaltraud Kolb, Wolfgang U Dressler et al.ARTICLETarget International Journal of…2023

    Literary occasionalisms, new words coined by writers with a particular poetic aim in view, often pose a great challenge for translators. Given recent advances in machine translation (MT), could literary translators benefit from MT when it comes to the translation of occasionalisms? We address this question by considering the work of Austria’s most important nineteenth-century comedy writer, Johann Nestroy (1801–1862). We compare how human transla…

  • Semantische Untersuchungen zu standardsprachlichen Diminutiven und Diminutivkomposita im österreichischen Deutsch

    Jutta Ransmayr, Wolfgang U Dressler et al.ARTICLEZeitschrift für Dialektologie und…2022

    This article examines for the first time the asymmetric distribution of semantic groups of diminutives formed with -chen and -erl in written Standard Austrian German in a corpuslinguistic study. Based on a large corpus, we discover asymmetries in the distribution of -chen- and -erl-diminutives in conceptual fields. We will also examine these two diminutive forms from a semantic and pragmatic view, taking the relative frequency of -chen- and -erl-…

  • Dualism and superposition in the analysis of English synthetic compounds ending in -er

    Open AccessElisa Mattiello, Wolfgang U DresslerARTICLELinguistics2022Referencias: 52

    This article studies the role of synthetic-compound families, both formal families and their semantic (or rather conceptual) subfamilies, in the analysis of synthetic compounds (SCs). For this purpose, four formal families of English non-Latinate synthetic compounds sharing their second base and three Latinate families have been investigated. Unlike previous approaches ranging from a purely syntactic treatment of SCs to a more lexical treatment, …

  • Textual Effects in Compound Processing

    Open AccessGary Libben, Jordan Gallant et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Communication2021

    We sought to move beyond single word and sentence processing experiments in order to examine textual effects on the processing of compound words in English. We developed minimal texts (sentences pairs that together constitute a story) that had neutral, semantic or lexical relations between the last word of the first sentence and the second word of the second sentence (which was always a compound noun). This generated minimal text triplets that di…

  • Vocabulary as a Central Link between Phonological Working Memory and Narrative Competence

    Open AccessKatharina Korecky‐kröll, Neriman Dobek et al.ARTICLELanguage and Speech2019Citada por: 1Referencias: 52

    Phonological working memory capacity, vocabulary size, and narrative competence are important skills in children’s L1 and L2 acquisition, which may vary as a function of their language background and socioeconomic status (SES). We investigated test data of 56 typically developing 4-year-old kindergarten children from two SES and two language backgrounds: 29 children (15 higher SES, 14 lower SES) were monolingual German-speaking, and 27 children (…

  • Poetische Okkasionalismen bei Nestroy und Handke

    Wolfgang U Dressler, Vanessa Hannesschläger et al.CONFERENCECorpus Linguistics and Literature2018

    In diesem Beitrag wollen wir sprachliche Neubildungen (präziser: Okkasionalismen) als Elemente poetischer Kreativität bei Johann Nepomuk Nestroy und Peter Handke mit korpuslinguistischen Methoden in neuer Weise untersuchen und vergleichen, zeigen, was mit diesen zum ersten Mal möglich ist und damit auch der Literatur- und Theaterwissenschaft neue Möglichkeiten eröffnen.

  • Sprechakte im elterlichen Input und die Rolle des sozioökonomischen Status der Familie

    Open AccessKatharina Korecky-Kröll, Katharina Korecky‐kröll et al.ARTICLECahiers du Centre de Linguistique…2018

    Die Sprache, die Eltern an ihre Kinder richten, zeigt abhängig vom soziökonomischen Status (SES) der Familie meist große Unterschiede. Während Eltern mit hohem sozioökonomischem Status häufig einen konversationsanregenden und ermutigenden Erziehungsstil praktizieren, pflegen Eltern mit niedrigem sozioökonomischem Status tendenziell einen verhaltenssteuernden, oft entmutigenden Erziehungsstil. Anhand eines Spontansprachkorpus von 29 Wiener Kindern…

  • New corpus-linguistic approaches to the investigation of poetic occasionalisms

    Open AccessWolfgang U Dressler, Barbara TumfartARTICLEYearbook of the Poznan Linguistic…2017

    This paper reports on new approaches to the analysis of poetic occasionalisms, i.e. of words created by an author for a specific place in a literary text, and exemplifies them with the occasionalisms found in three comedies by Johann Nepomuk Nestroy, the greatest Austrian comedy writer and creator of new words in the 19th century. Corpuslinguistic search in Nestroy’s complete works and in large German electronic corpora enables better decisions w…

  • Independent, Dependent and Interdependent Variables in Language Decay and Language Death

    Open AccessWolfgang U DresslerARTICLEEuropean Review2017Citada por: 1Referencias: 2

    This contribution gives in its first part an overview on factors of the decay and death of whole languages, focusing on dependency relations between these factors. They are organised along the following dimensions: socio-political, socio-economic, sociocultural, socio-psychological, and linguistic dimensions. The order of these dimensions partially represents a causal chain from left to right, but with many feedback relations. The second part of …

    Open AccessWolfgang U Dressler, Katharina Lorecky-Kröll et al.ARTICLECahiers du Centre de Linguistique…2016

    Les notions de prévisibilité et de prédictibilité, la seconde plus puissante que la première (cf. BARRETT & STANFORD 2006), sont discutées dans de nombreux champs de la linguistique, mais souvent dans une perspective différente. Par exemple, en phonétique expérimentale, les résultats des expérimentations sont prédits sur la base d'hypothèses que la méthodologie a opérationnalisées, parallèlement à ce qui se pratique dans les autres sciences expér…

  • Morphology and Meaning

    Open AccessPaolo Acquaviva, Franz Rainer et al.BOOKMorphology and meaning2014

    The problem of form and meaning in morphology has produced an impressive amount of scholarly work over the last hundred years. Nevertheless, many issues continue to be in need of clarification. The present volume assembles 18 selected papers from the 15th International Morphology Meeting (Vienna, 9–12 February 2012) relating to this vast field of research. The introduction provides a detailed overview of the state of the art in the field. It is f…

  • German plural doublets with and without meaning differentiation

    Karlheinz Mörth, Wolfgang U DresslerCHAPTERMorphology and meaning2014

    This contribution studies the synchrony and diachrony of German plural variants. Plural doublets in the sense of overabundance must be restricted to variants with the same meaning used by one and the same speech community. But there is a preference for distinctiveness which assigns different pragmatic or semantic meanings to variants. This includes also a preference for iconic relationships between form and meaning. The assumption of a preference…

  • Prosody and animacy in the development of noun determiner use

    Open AccessDominique Bassano, Katharina Korecky-Kröll et al.ARTICLEFirst Language2013

    This study investigates prosodic (noun length) and lexical-semantic (animacy) influences on determiner use in the spontaneous speech of three children acquiring French, Austrian German and Dutch. In support of typological and language-specific hypotheses from the Germanic–Romance contrast, an advantage of monosyllabic nouns and of inanimate nouns for taking a determiner or filler was found in French, but not in Austrian German or Dutch. The autho…

  • The role of explicit contrast in adjective acquisition

    Open AccessElena Tribushinina, Huub Van Den Bergh et al.ARTICLEFirst Language2013

    Experimental studies demonstrate that contrast helps toddlers to extend the meanings of novel adjectives. This study explores whether antonym co-occurrence in spontaneous speech also has an effect on adjective use by the child. The authors studied adjective production in longitudinal speech samples from 16 children (16–36 months) acquiring eight different languages. Adjectives in child speech and child-directed speech were coded as either unrelat…
