Article Fabian Fleißner: Das Präfix gi- im Althochdeutschen und Altsächsischen. Eine Neubewertung seiner Bedeutung für das Tempus- und Aspektsystem, Berlin u. Boston: de Gruyter 2023, 270 S., 2 Abb.

Allostructions and stancetaking
The paper reconciles the sociolinguistic concept of stance and stancetaking and Construction Grammar (CxG); it shows that overlapping allostructions may differ in terms of the stances they convey. Drawing on a corpus study of Wikipedia Talk pages, the paper presents a case study of German discourse management markers such as wo wir gerade dabei sind ‘speaking of which’ or wenn wir schon dabei sind ‘while we’re at it’. By statistically comparing t…
Salienz und Bewertung morphosyntaktischer und semantisch-struktureller Merkmale
This paper presents the results of an online survey studying both salience and evaluation of specific morphosyntactic and semantic features in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. The study, for example, addresses weil ‘because’ clauses with main clause word order, nachdem ‘after’ clauses with causal meaning, and erinnern ‘remember’ selecting an accusative object. The salience of the phenomena that were studied differs considerably depending on whet…

Polysemie und morphosyntaktische Variation
This paper studies perfect auxiliary selection of the verb stehen ›to stand‹ in 17 th and 18 th century corpora as well as in dialect and newspaper corpora of contemporary German. Being restricted to the auxiliary haben ›have‹ in central and northern German varieties, stative verbs denoting the maintenance of a physical body’s position such as stehen are well known to allow both haben ›have‹ and sein ›be‹ in southern German varieties. Our study r…
Analogy as driving force of language change
This paper presents a case study conducted on 17th and 18th century German corpora, confirming that both attraction and differentiation are important mechanisms of change, which interact with socio-symbolic properties of constructions. The paper looks at the frequencies and semantics of wo ‘where’ clauses at the beginning of the New High German period, which are compared to the frequencies and semantics of the connector da ‘there, since’ in the s…
Frank Kirchhoff, Von der Virgel zum Komma. Die Entwicklung der Interpunktion im Deutschen
Bei der Monografie handelt sich um die 2017 im Winter-Verlag erschienene Dissertation des Verfassers, die mit Literaturverzeichnis und Anhang 253 Seiten umfasst. Sie gliedert sich in zwei Hauptteile, wovon sich der erste, theoretischer ausgerichtete Teil mit der Kommasetzung im Gegenwartsdeutschen befasst und auch typologische Vergleiche, insbesondere zum Englischen, zieht (Teil I); der zweite, empirische Teil präsentiert eine Korpusuntersuchung …
Auxiliary selection in closely related languages
Die Grammatikalisierung des sein -Perfekts. – Eine korpuslinguistische Untersuchung zur Hilfsverbselektion der Bewegungsverben im Deutschen
In German, unlike in English or Swedish, there are two different perfect auxiliaries: the more frequently used haben and the auxiliary sein . The latter only occurs with a restricted group of verbs. Against the traditional view, it has recently been argued that both periphrases do not form a homogenous category, i. e. there was no grammaticalisation of sein + second participle at all. According to this view the periphrases do not only differ form…
