Geb. (‘Born’) in Berlin, Germany
This paper is based on an analysis of heritage gravestones from three Canadian cemeteries that are not assigned to or used by any specific ethnic community in Waterloo Region, Ontario. Drawing on tools from semiotic landscape and historical sociolinguistics , the gravestones are analyzed for evidence of multilingual positioning through elements from German and/or (English-speaking) Canadian language and culture. This qualitative analysis reveals …
Language and Identity in Historical Caucasian German
Varieties of German outside the German-speaking area in Europe are often in close contactwith surrounding languages and differ from Standard German with respect to variouslinguistic phenomena. We present a study on a diasporic variety of German spoken in theSouth Caucasus region (primarily in Georgia), a historically well established settler variety,which until recently had been assumed to be obsolete since WW II. In this contact variety,interact…
Deutsch im Kontakt
Als Folge verschiedener Phasen und Formen von Migration wird Deutsch heute in vielen Teilen der Welt gesprochen. In diesen Konstellationen steht es in Kontakt mit unterschiedlichen Sprachen, was sich in kontaktbedingten Sprachwandelphänomenen niederschlägt
Gesprochenes Deutsch in der Diaspora
Weltweit befinden sich Varietäten des Deutschen im Kontakt mit unterschiedlichen Sprachen und weisen dort kontaktinduzierte Sprachwandelphänomene auf, durch die sie sich von anderen deutschsprachigen Varietäten unterscheiden. In der Vergangenheit wurden diese Diaspora-Varietäten überwiegend getrennt voneinander untersucht. Unser Ausgangspunkt ist die Hypothese, dass durch einen systematischen Vergleich mehrerer dieser Varietäten deutlicher erkenn…
Koloniale und postkoloniale Mikrotoponyme
Die koloniale und postkoloniale Toponomastik verortet sich an der Schnittstelle von Koloniallinguistik und Onomastik. Toponyme eignen sich in besonderer Weise für die Versprachlichung von Herrschaftswünschen und -ansprüchen und die Fixierung von Macht durch Sprache. Toponymische (Um-)Benennungen waren Teil des Sprachhandelns der Kolonisatoren sowohl im kolonisierten Raum als auch im Ausgangsgebiet der Kolonialmächte. In den hier zusammengestellte…
Canadian heritage German across three generations
It is well known that migration has an effect on language use and language choice. If the language of origin is maintained after migration, it tends to change in the new contact setting. Often, migrants shift to the new majority language within few generations. The current paper examines a diary corpus containing data from three generations of one German-Canadian family, ranging from 1867 to 1909, and covering the second to fourth generation afte…
Historical sociolinguistics in colonial New Guinea
The Rhenish Mission Society, a German Protestant mission, was active in a small part of northern New Guinea, the Astrolabe Bay, between 1887 and 1932. Up until 1914, this region was under German colonial rule. The German dominance was also reflected in rules on language use in official contexts such as schools and administration. Missionaries were strongly affected by such rules as their most important tool in mission work was language. In additi…
Changing argument structure in (heritage) Pennsylvania German
By way of migration, large numbers of German-speaking settlers arrived in Pennsylvania between roughly 1700 and 1750. Pennsylvania German, as a distinct variety, developed through levelling processes from L1 varieties of these migrants who came mainly from the southwestern regions of the German speaking area. Pennsylvania German is still spoken today by specific religious groups (primarily Amish and Menonnite groups) for many of whom it is an ide…
