Schnëssen . Surveying language dynamics in Luxembourgish with a mobile research app
The mobile app Schnëssen establishes a digital and participatory research platform to collect data on present-day spoken Luxembourgish through crowdsourcing and to present the results of data analysis to the general public. Users can participate in different kinds of audio recording tasks (translation, picture naming, reading, question) as well as in sociolinguistic surveys. All audio recordings are accessible to the public via an interactive map…
Crowdscapes. Participatory research and the collaborative (re)construction of linguistic landscapes with Lingscape
Public signage is a central element of the socio-pragmatic organization of everyday practice. The survey of signs and written language in the public sphere has developed into a vital branch of sociolinguistics called “linguistic landscapes”. The paper introduces a participatory research project, Lingscape, that focuses on the documentation and analysis of linguistic landscapes worldwide. Making use of a dedicated mobile research app, the project …
Street name changes as language and identity inscription in the cityscape
This article examines the role of language selection in constructing the cityscape of highly multilingual, postcolonial places like Malaysia and Namibia. The relationship between language policy, the construction of a national identity as well as linguistic inscriptions in the cityscape can be seen as part of language planning in relation to what gets represented, by whom, and for what purpose. We focus on street names as a typical target of lang…
Cultural representation in Luxembourgish street naming practices
This paper investigates street naming practices in Luxembourg. Starting from a theoretical sketch of how the curation of a given cityscape by dint of cultural artifacts (e.g., street names) establishes complex orders of cultural representation , it discusses three case studies for street naming campaigns from Luxembourg. These case studies represent different types of action modes , ideological motives and linguistic materials involved in street …
(T)Apping the linguistic landscape
This article explores methodological challenges and scientific perspectives of a citizen science approach to linguistic landscapes research. Starting from the outline of a disciplinary landscape, the text first discusses development strategies and practical implementation of crowdsourcing via mobile applications as means to data collection in two participatory research projects. The comparison highlights the complex trade-off between empirical be…
"I remember it like it was interesting." – Zur Theorie von Salienz und Pertinenz
This text is devoted to theoretical aspects of the perception and evaluation of linguistic phenomena as part of listener judgments about language in social interaction. First, salience (perceptual conspicuity) and pertinence (subjective situational relevance) are considered as fundamental categories and subprocesses of listener judgments, in line with Purschke's (2011) perceptual judgment theory. This is followed by a detailed discussion of salie…
Regionalsprache und Hörerurteil
Die wissenschaftliche Erforschung der deutschen Dialekte kann auf eine lange Tradition zurückblicken, die sich etwa in linguistischen Dialekteinteilungen niederschlägt. Was aber wissen die Sprachbenutzer selbst über die Sprachräume des Deutschen und ihre Grenzen? Und welche Bedeutung hat dieses Wissen für die Struktur und Dynamik der Dialekte? In diesem E-Book wird die Variationslinguistik um die Perspektive der Sprachbenutzer selbst erweitert. A…
