  • The Impact of Grammar on the Construal of Discourse Alternatives in German and English

    Open AccessChristine Dimroth, Marianne StarrenARTICLELanguages2022References: 13

    This paper investigates additive links to discourse alternatives in picture comparison dialogues produced by adult native speakers of English and German. Additive relations are established across turns when participants are confirming the presence of matching objects on both pictures (A: "I have X". B: "I also have X"). Speakers thereby describe their own picture and construe the interlocutor (or rather: the interlocutor's picture) as a discourse…

    On the basis of previous cross-linguistic analyses of (re)narrations of the same animation film in German and English, the present study shows how these (re)narrations in Dutch as another Germanic language seem to side more with German than with English in the temporal management of the story-line. Dutch speakers – just as German speakers – structure their story in sequential, bounded events, typically introduced by en dan ‘and then’ and pushed f…

A product advertised using French would thus also be seen as charming and stylish. Although a number of suggestions have been made as to the…

  • Information Structure and the Dynamics of Language Acquisition

    Christine Dimroth, Marianne StarrenEDITORBOOKInformation Structure and the…2003

    The papers in this volume focus on the impact of information structure on language acquisition, thereby taking different linguistic approaches into account. They start from an empirical point of view, and examine data from natural first and second language acquisition, which cover a wide range of varieties, from early learner language to native speaker production and from gesture to Creole prototypes. The central theme is the interplay between pr…
