Variable grammars are variable across registers
It is widely accepted that internal constraints on variation are not modulated by social and stylistic factors (e.g., Labov, 2010:265). Is this also true for register differences as a special type of sociostylistic factor? To address this question, we investigate future temporal reference (FTR) variation in English ( It'll be fun versus It's gonna be fun ) via a variationist corpus study ( n = 2,600 tokens) and a supplementary rating experiment (…
Assessing the complexity of lectal competence
Recent evidence suggests that probabilistic grammars may be modulated by communication mode and genre. Accordingly, the question arises how complex language users’ lectal competence is, where complexity is proportional to the extent to which choice-making processes depend on the situation of language use. Do probabilistic constraints vary when we talk to a friend compared to when we give a speech? Are differences between spoken and written langua…
Felder und Akteur*innen kultureller Bildung in ländlichen Räumen
Das vom Bundesministerium für Bildung und Forschung (BMBF) geförderte Verbundvorhaben zielt auf eine empirisch fundierte Darstellung der kulturellen Landschaften und insbesondere der Akteur*innenkonstellationen der kulturellen Bildung in drei als peripher bis sehr peripher gekennzeichneten Regionen. Konkret wird mittels quantitativer und qualitativer Erhebungsmethoden den Fragestellungen nachgegangen, welche Felder und Akteur*innen in welcher For…
Speaking Style Modulates Morphosyntactic Expectations in Young and Older Adults
Previous research has shown that talker identity and speaking style affect the processing of morphosyntactic violations. The present study examined whether speaking style modulates comprehension and subsequent production of case variants in German prepositional phrases across the life span. To this end, we conducted a sentence repetition and completion experiment with young and older adults. After a familiarization phase with two talkers (one wit…
