In weiterer Folge sind Fugenelemente aus den früheren Genitivendungen entstanden. Das Fugen-s ist daher historisch gesehen ein Genitiv-s, das zum Fugenelement reanalysiert wurde. Mittlerweile kommt das Fugen-s auch nach Erstgliedern vor, die den Genitiv nicht mit s bilden, wodurch eine Interpretation als Genitivmarker oft nicht mehr möglich ist.\r\nBesonders häufig kommt das Fugen-s zwischen zwei Substantiven vor, was sich ebenfalls durch diese historische Entwicklung aus Genitivkonstruktionen begründen lässt. Nach welchen Erstgliedern das Fugen-s heute vorkommt, hängt hauptsächlich von phonologischen Faktoren ab. Aus synchroner Sicht erfüllt das Fugen-s eine Trennfunktion, um die Grenze zwischen Kompositionsgliedern anzuzeigen und sie vor einer Verdunkelung zu bewahren. Daher kommt es besonders oft nach komplexen Erstgliedern vor.\r\nAn den untersuchten Zweifelsfällen, zu denen auch „Advent(s)kalender“ zählt, kann man erkennen, dass in Österreich, Deutschland und der Schweiz beim selben Kompositum unterschiedliche Fugenelemente zum Einsatz kommen können. Allerdings kann keine eindeutige Aussage darüber gemacht werden, in welchem Land das Fugen-s häufiger vorkommt.","duration":1800,"time_slots":6,"logo":null,"type":"lecture","do_not_record":false,"track":"Diverse","abstract":"Da sich die Komposita „Adventkalender“ und „Adventskalender“ aus denselben Bestandteilen zusammensetzen und sie auch in ihrer Bedeutung übereinstimmen, ist das Element, das sie unterscheidet, leicht zu übersehen.

However, two different grammatical means of expressing aspect/aspectuality can be observed: differential object marking (which is common among Finnic languages) and verbal prefixation by means of borrowed Latvian prefixes (due to contact influence).   \r\nThe study starts from the prefixed verbs: what kind of inner aspectual values they express compared with their non-prefixed counterparts, how the possible object cases (genitive and partitive) are combined with the prefixed verbs, and what kind of aspectual values can be observed in these combinations. \r\nWhile in most of the Finnic languages partitive of negation is obligatory, Livonian differs from that in the point that genitive also occurs in negated clauses. As there is yet no consense, whether it is a mere formal contact-induced phenomenon or semantical issues play a role as well, negated clauses will be analyzed against the background of aspectual matters, too. \r\nThe study aims to describe the relations between differential object marking and prefixation: Do they only occur redundantly next to each other or could they have developed their own functions?    \r\n\r\nLivonian belongs to the Finnic branch of the Uralic language family and is an indigenous language in Latvia. Being in the process of revitalization it is now spoken by approximately 200 speakers, mostly researchers, at different levels.

Sie beschäftigt sich mit grammatischen Alternationen im Deutschen, d. h. mit grammatischen Mitteln und Strukturen, die im Deutschen synonym verwendet werden können, ohne dass sich die Grundbedeutung wesentlich ändert. Das Handbuch stellt damit ein Äquivalent zu einem Synonymwörterbuch auf der grammatischen Ebene dar, das es für die deutsche Sprache bis jetzt nicht gab. Ähnlich wie bei lexikalischen Synonymen sind auch alternierende grammatische Mittel nicht in jedem Kontext füreinander austauschbar. Unterschiede in der Verwendung können sich z. B. in leichten Bedeutungsverschiebungen, in unterschiedlichen syntaktischen oder lexikalischen Beschränkungen, in der Häufigkeit des mündlichen oder schriftlichen Gebrauchs, in regionalen Variationen oder in der Bevorzugung verschiedener Textsorten zeigen. Auf diese Unterschiede in Funktion und Gebrauch wird in dem Beitrag und Handbuch systematisch eingegangen.\r\nDas Handbuch gliedert sich in drei Teile: Der erste Teil stellt Alternationen auf der morphologischen Ebene dar, der dritte Teil Alternationen auf der syntaktischen Ebene.

On the one hand, students who would like to continue their studies and do a PhD are having trouble with finding funding, since linguistics as a discipline is notorious for being severely underfunded and consequently offers few scholarships and even fewer paid PhD positions. And on the other hand, students who would prefer to work in the free economy (or are looking for alternatives in cases they are unable to do a PhD) are worried about finding a (well-paid) job, since most humanities programmes are purely research-oriented and do not prepare you for non-academic jobs whatsoever.\r\nAlthough some linguistics programmes try to prevent their students from getting overly worried about finishing their studies by offering guidance and consultation sessions, the issue is that, 1) this advice usually comes from people who have already finished their PhDs a while ago and therefore seem less relatable, 2) a lot of people who currently working in academia have spent little or no time at all in the free economy and therefore have no clue about the current job market or how to apply your linguistic knowledge in the free economy.\r\nTherefore, the aims of this workshop are the following:\r\n- give an optimistic overview of the current job situation for linguists and hopefully take away some of your worries, while also giving an honest insight into the problems that pre- and post-docs in linguistics are currently facing,\r\n- give advice on how to find and apply for PhD positions and scholarships, \r\n- present (realistic) examples of how to use your linguistics knowledge to find a job outside of academia.\r\nThe workshop will mainly focus on the pre-doc phase, but post-doc opportunities will also be touched upon briefly. Please note that while I am by no means an expert or qualified employment agent, I hope the fact that I have been in your shoes until this year and have spent many years working non-academic side jobs over course of my studies, might allow me to give you a more relatable viewpoint than some of your professors or teachers.

Was aber ist notwendig, um ein englisches Lehnwort ins Deutsche zu integrieren? Bei substantivischen Anglizismen ist eines der wichtigsten Probleme die Genuszuordnung. Im Deutschen spielt das grammatische Geschlecht eine wichtige Rolle, im Englischen dagegen ist es sehr reduziert. Bei der Übernahme weisen Sprecher*innen Anglizismen oft ganz automatisch einem Genus zu, ohne ein Bewusstsein für die Gründe ihrer Wahl. Trotzdem geschieht die Genuszuweisung englischer Lehnwörter nicht zufällig, sondern folgt gewissen Prinzipien.\r\nEines der wichtigsten ist das Prinzip des semantischen Äquivalents. Demnach erhalten Anglizismen im Deutschen das grammatische Geschlecht ihrer nächsten lexikalischen Entsprechung bzw. ihres semantischen Äquivalents. So heißt es beispielsweise \"die Rush-hour\" (nach \"die Stunde\"), \"der Coat\" (nach \"der Mantel\"), \"das Copyright\" (nach \"das Urheberrecht\"). \r\nWas ist aber, wenn es im Deutschen mehrere Varianten unterschiedlicher Genera gibt, die als semantisches Äquivalent herangezogen werden könnten? Es gilt die folgende Hypothese: Gibt es zu einem neu entlehnten englischen Begriff im Deutschen verschiedene dialektale/soziolektale Varianten mit unterschiedlichem Genus (z. B. \"das Kissen\" vs. \"der Polster\"), die als gleichwertige Übersetzungen des englischen Begriffs gelten können, so werden verschiedene Sprecher*innen den Begriff bei einer Entlehnung ins Deutsche auch unterschiedlichen Genera zuweisen (z. B. \"das Pillow\" vs. \"der Pillow\"), je nachdem welche deutsche Variante sie selbst vorrangig verwenden. \r\nUm diese Hypothese zu überprüfen erstellte ich eine Online-Umfrage. Dabei ließ ich meine Proband*innen zuerst einer Reihe englischer Wörter spontan einen Artikel und somit ein grammatisches Geschlecht zuweisen. Danach sollten sie zu einigen deutschen Wörtern angeben, welche regionalen Varianten sie selbst üblicherweise verwenden. Die abgefragten deutschen Wörter entsprachen dabei den englischen aus dem ersten Teil der Umfrage. So wollte ich herausfinden, ob die deutschen Varianten tatsächlich das Genus der Anglizismen bestimmen, und wenn nicht, welche anderen Faktoren für die jeweilige Genuswahl verantwortlich sein könnten. Die Ergebnisse möchte ich in meinem Vortrag präsentieren.","speakers":[{"guid":"a7a70014-adf0-58a0-9d56-86a228b5097e","id":1050,"image":null,"name":"Emilia Wess","public_name":"Emilia Wess","email":"a12045912@unet.univie.ac.at","abstract":null,"description":null,"links":[]}],"start_time":"2024-05-10T14:00:00.000+02:00","end_time":"2024-05-10T14:30:00.000+02:00","room":{"name":"Seashell (33.4.032)","id":149}},{"id":1204,"guid":"33b8fbe1-53d6-4db2-9933-cd5b560890b3","title":"Differentielle Objektmarkierung im Arabischen","language":"de","subtitle":"ʾiyyā-, l- und das unabhängige Pronomen als direkte Objektmarker","description":"Differentielle Objektmarkierung (DOM) wurde bereits in vielen semitischen Sprachen, wie dem Hebräischen, Aramäischen oder Amharischen, untersucht, aber auch in modernen arabischen Varietäten festgestellt.

It is clear that the spread of English as an international language had led to the emergence of World Englishes (WE), the new varieties of English. WE is originated into two basic literary schools, namely postcolonialism and postmodernism. Post colonialism emerges from the British colonization in the 19th century. At that period, Britain was considered as “the largest colonizer and imperial power” (Sridhar and Sridhar, 1986, p. 32). The main goal of this school is “to destabilize the stabilized institutions and in SLA, in particular, decolonizing the colonized TLT is its major concern” (Sridhar, 2012, p. 13). Postmodernism is a philosophy that believes in the universal truth, in a world with no center and this is the meaning of world Englishes. The emergence of English varieties raises a number of issues revolving around teaching multilingual English and fostering justice to acknowledge the new reality of English. The aims of this poster are to present the global spread of English and the development of its varieties and to point to the mismatch between the reality of English and language teaching. It also aims to apply the post-modern approach to bridge this mismatch and present how this approach can be used as a reference to integrate the philosophy of WE in teaching. \r\nKeywords: World Englishes, teaching, social justice, post-modernism. \r\n\r\nReferences\r\nSmith, L.

Scientists therefore have to draw on indirect methods in order to gather evidence on how\r\nlanguage may have evolved. In this talk I provide an overview of the main kinds of evidence available to language evolution research, including evidence from hominid fossils, comparative studies with non-human primates, lab experiments, modern child\r\nlanguage acquisition research, and study of pidgins and home signs. I then discuss two main theories of language evolution, the gesture-first and vocal-first theories. The gesture-first theory dates back to at least the 18th century (Rousseau, 1781). Support for this theory comes from i.a. evidence from laboratory experiments in which participants perform various communication tasks using gestures or vocalisations (e.g. Fay\r\net al. (2014)) and research on non-human primates (primates have been able to learn new gestures but not new vocalisations from humans (Tomasello, 2008)). However the gesture-first theory faces the challenge of explaining why language developed in the vocal modality (and indeed why the vocal modality is the most common linguistic\r\nmodality today), rather than remaining in the signed modality only. Advocates of a vocal origin of language also cite evidence for continuity between modern human spoken language and primate vocalisations (Seyfarth, 2005) and the (overlooked) capacity of the vocal modality for iconicity (see Perlman (2017) for an overview). I conclude\r\nby considering more conciliatory approaches to language origin, which emphasise a multimodal view of language and language origins (e.g. Masataka (2020), Fröhlich et al.

In standard German, spatial deictic expressions are typically demonstratives, adverbs, or prepositional phrases, and one deictic expression is sufficient for a deictic reference. Yet, an adverbial element can be added if it provides further information on the location:\r\n\r\n(1)\tDieses Haus hier gehört Sarah.\r\n‚This house right here belongs to Sarah.’\r\n\r\nIn (1), the information added is clear: the adverbial expression specifies the distance to the object.

Thus, an online experiment will try to shed light on the use and meaning of adverbial expressions that occur together with prepositional phrases in (Bavarian) German.","speakers":[{"guid":"ad89ac84-6dcb-50a3-82b6-37be7ef1f579","id":1033,"image":null,"name":"Melanie Loitzl","public_name":"Melanie Loitzl","abstract":null,"description":null,"links":[]}],"start_time":"2024-05-09T14:45:00.000+02:00","end_time":"2024-05-09T15:15:00.000+02:00","room":{"name":"Crab (33.3.088)","id":144}},{"id":1200,"guid":"74682519-6ccc-4f80-83f8-cd5e3f17ad3d","title":"Gradability, scale structure and deadjectival verbs","language":"en","subtitle":null,"description":"Gradability is a central property of adjectives and is semantically formalized as a set of degrees that are ordered along a scale.

An important question is how to determine the scale structure associated with an adjective.

Against this background, the present study analyses acceptability judgements from late German-English bilinguals on German sentences with target collocations consisting of verb + preposition (e.g. träumen von ‘dream of’) and verb + noun (e.g. Entscheidungen treffen ‘make decisions’). The collocations were either grammatical in German, loan translations from English or ungrammatical in both languages. Data from late German-English bilinguals living in an English-speaking country was compared to that from late German-English bilinguals living in a German-speaking country to analyse which factors (i.e. frequency of L1-use; amount of L2-usage; duration of immersion) affected the participants’ judgements.\r\nThe results show that speakers living in an English-speaking environment experience higher levels of CLI if they use German rarely and English almost exclusively. This is not the case for the speakers who use German on a daily basis and English for less than seven hours a day. It seems that regular switching between the two languages is a major facilitator for CLI. Additionally, speakers who had lived in an English-speaking environment for six years or longer experienced more CLI, indicating that longer duration of immersion correlates with higher levels of CLI. Furthermore, speakers living in a German-speaking environment display more CLI if they regularly use English for more than one hour a day – this suggests that switching between languages causes higher CLI than linguistic immersion.\r\n","speakers":[{"guid":"07b74b33-5347-599d-aa05-eea6cbafb81a","id":1017,"image":null,"name":"Katharina Eder","public_name":"Katharina Eder","email":"katharina.leonie.eder@gmx.at","abstract":null,"description":null,"links":[]}],"start_time":"2024-05-10T16:00:00.000+02:00","end_time":"2024-05-10T16:30:00.000+02:00","room":{"name":"Squid (33.0.008)","id":143}},{"id":1170,"guid":"f2d6ac63-5621-4c02-a808-541a73e784a6","title":"How to Optimise Your Grammar in Three Levels","language":"en","subtitle":"An Introduction to Stratal Optimality Theory","description":"Some morphophonological data require seemingly paradoxical rules proposing contradictory grammars for one language.

The research aims to prove and illustrate the presence of hidden ideological messages in many linguistic and visual elements of the analysed Internet memes, as well as to draw attention to the feminist reclamation of sexism as an effective strategy for opposing sexist discourse on the Internet.

Nach einer starken Version der Theorie reicht die Neugier von LeserInnen auf den Fortgang der Geschichte und eine spezielle Konstellation von Leserfragen zur Erklärung der Entstehung von Spannung aus. Dieser Standpunkt widerspricht zuvor etablierten Zusammenhängen – beispielsweise der Vorstellung, dass die Entstehung von Spannung von der erlebten Immersion in eine Geschichte abhängt – also, dass das Eintauchen in die erzählte Welt Spannung erzeugt. Der geplante Vortrag schlägt mittels eines bisher außer Acht gelassenen Bindegliedes eine Brücke: Das Diskursverständnis, eine wichtige Voraussetzung für jede Form medieninduzierter Erfahrungen, wirkt sich auf alle Phänomene aus: Nur wer einer Geschichte gut genug folgen kann, kann Immersion, Spannung und Neugier empfinden. \r\n\r\nDie Forschung zum Diskursverständnis gibt Rätsel auf: LeserInnen ziehen zwar Schlüsse zur Aufrechterhaltung der Textkohärenz, Prognosen über zukünftige Ereignisse einer Geschichte sind jedoch flüchtig und rar. Die narrative Spannung, traditionell über Hoffnung und Furcht bezüglich zukünftiger Ereignisse definiert, ist von diesen Prognosen jedoch maximal abhängig: Werden mögliche zukünftige Ereignisse von LeserInnen nicht als solche erkannt, ist Spannung ausgeschlossen. Die erotetische Theorie liefert eine Erklärung: PITQs, „Potentially Inquiry Terminating Questions“, sind Fragen, die durch eine asymmetrische Implikationsrelation (eine Antwort auf die PITQ liefert eine Antwort auf die Hauptfrage, während eine andere Antwort dies nicht tut) die Illusion erwecken, dass das Ende der Geschichte unmittelbar bevorsteht. Sie liefern somit die Prognose mit. Im Zusammenhang mit Spannung treten PITQs erwiesenermaßen gehäuft auf und ermöglichen damit die Stabilisation prognostischer Schlüsse. Auch der Einfluss der Immersion auf die Spannung folgt daraus: Wer in eine Geschichte eintaucht, erkennt aufgeworfene Fragen deutlicher und stellt sie mit gesteigerter Dringlichkeit.

Folglich stellt sich die Frage, ob die wörtliche Übersetzung von Kollokationen aus dem Deutschen ins Indonesische nach Heukens (2021) den Sprachmustern des Indonesischen von 2011 entspricht und welche kulturellen Gründe dies haben könnte. In dieser Arbeit werden die Kollokationen zum Thema Haushalt im Lehrwerk \"Menschen A1\" sorgfältig ausgewählt und gesammelt. Die gesammelten Kollokationen werden dann wörtlich ins Indonesische übersetzt und mit den Sprachmustern im Indonesischen verglichen. Mithilfe einer korpusbasierten Analyse werden die Sprachmuster im Indonesischen identifiziert, mit den wörtlichen indonesischen Übersetzungen der im Lehrwerk \"Menschen A1\" gefundenen Kollokationen verglichen und analysiert. Die Ergebnisse der Analyse zeigen, dass 5 von 12 identifizierten Kollokationen im Lehrwerk \"Menschen A1\" nicht den indonesischen Sprachmustern entsprechen und sich stark von diesen unterscheiden. Die kulturellen Unterschiede und das unterschiedliche Sprachverhalten zwischen Indonesisch und Deutsch sind dabei ausschlaggebend. Für 2 Kollokationen konnten leider keine Entsprechungen im Korpus gefunden werden, was auf die unterschiedliche Häufigkeit der Tätigkeiten zurückzuführen sein könnte. Im Gegensatz dazu entsprechen 5 Kollokationen genau den Sprachmustern im Indonesischen. Die Untersuchung zeigt, dass eine wörtliche Übersetzung von Kollokationen nicht immer angemessen ist und dass kulturelle Unterschiede die Entsprechung von Sprachmustern beeinflussen können","speakers":[{"guid":"88270dab-29b9-5875-af02-99f9a89a96bb","id":292,"image":"/system/people/avatars/000/000/292/original/WhatsApp_Image_2024-01-01_at_03.07.02_(4).jpeg?1709306360","name":"Boy Tri Rizky","public_name":"Boy Tri Rizky","email":"boyrizky40@gmail.com","abstract":null,"description":null,"links":[]}],"start_time":"2024-05-11T13:40:00.000+02:00","end_time":"2024-05-11T13:50:00.000+02:00","room":{"name":"Poster titles","id":156}},{"id":1186,"guid":"71c98f47-8463-45f5-9442-7ecdef84c44a","title":"Language, time, and space embodied","language":"en","subtitle":"Spatio-temporal relations in cognition, or how space and time are reflected in our mind","description":"At first, I will dwell on the idea of time and its interpretation within the scope of science \r\nthroughout its evolution from ancient times in philosophy to Newton in physics. \r\nThen I will touch on spatial representations in language and study the cognitive connection between language and space in neuroanatomy.

As suggested in sign language and gestural studies [1,2,3], the nature of the visual-spatial modality affords a high potential for iconic representation [4,5]. The perception of iconicity, however, depends on an individual’s language experience [6,7]. \r\n\r\nAs part of my master’s thesis, this study investigates the perception of iconicity in Hong Kong Sign Language (HKSL) lexicon by participants of different linguistic backgrounds: HKSL signers, German Sign Language (DGS) signers and sign naïve L1 Cantonese speakers. 59 HKSL signs from three semantic categories (animal, human and tool) are selected for an iconicity rating task. They were categorised by iconic mapping strategy (e.g., handling for depicting how an object is held) and an additional category for compounds due to their high prevalence in HKSL signs. Participants were asked to rate, on a 7-point scale, the degree of similarity between the sign and the corresponding meaning. By collecting the subjective ratings of these signs, this study examines (1) the extent to which the iconicity ratings depend on the semantic category and mapping strategy of a sign; and (2) how different aspects of language experience impacts one’s perception of iconicity in signs.\r\n\r\nWhile data collection is ongoing for DGS signers, the preliminary data favours the idea that iconicity is influenced by language experience. The ratings are also likely dependent on the signs’ semantic category and mapping strategy with a similar pattern observed across groups. Additionally, it is observed that non-native components, particularly the depiction of Chinese characters would significantly increase the perceived iconicity for non-signers. This investigation provides insights into how signers and non-signers construe the form and meaning of a linguistic sign. In particular, it sheds light on the role of non-native component, which is an understudied aspect, in sign language iconicity.\r\n","speakers":[{"guid":"b1bee2a6-b363-5c60-868d-a60bd506ef43","id":894,"image":null,"name":"Wing Yan Tsang","public_name":"Wing Yan Tsang","abstract":null,"description":null,"links":[]}],"start_time":"2024-05-10T16:40:00.000+02:00","end_time":"2024-05-10T17:10:00.000+02:00","room":{"name":"Fish (33.1.010)","id":146}},{"id":1225,"guid":"bf771cb6-2169-409d-ac08-c407456b3948","title":"Lunch Break (meal voucher)","language":"","subtitle":null,"description":null,"duration":6000,"time_slots":20,"logo":null,"type":"","do_not_record":false,"track":"Other","abstract":null,"speakers":[],"start_time":"2024-05-10T12:00:00.000+02:00","end_time":"2024-05-10T13:40:00.000+02:00","room":{"name":"Jellyfish (Lernzone EG)","id":151}},{"id":1145,"guid":"f44f140d-85e7-4558-8963-4c9f14cb3eac","title":"Mediävistische Textanalyse und ihr Potential in der Etablierung einer historischen Spracheinstellungsforschung.","language":"de","subtitle":null,"description":"Die Spracheinstellung gilt als etabliertes Konzept in der Sprachwissenschaft und versucht anhand verschiedener Methoden, die Meinungen eines Individuums oder mehrerer Individuen gegenüber einer Sprache oder Sprachform zu ermitteln.

We examine plural forms consisting of a stop consonant followed by a sibilant word-finally, such as in crepes [kɾɛps] ~ [kɾɛ.pis], potes [pɔts] ~ [pɔ.tʃis], and cheques [ʃɛks] ~ [ʃɛ.kis]. The theoretical framework is mainly grounded on Exemplars Theory (Johnson, 1997; Pierrehumbert, 2001; Bybee, 2001, 2008, 2016), while the methodology follows the principles of Laboratory Phonology (Pierrehumbert; Beckman; Ladd, 2000). Data were collected through recordings of oral production from twenty Brazilian speakers, using reading and picture naming tasks. Sibilant voicing was quantified through the extraction of harmonic-to-noise ratio (HNR) values. The harmonic-to-noise ratio is a commonly employed metric for detecting speech pathologies, while also serving as a discriminative tool for distinguishing diverse sounds, notably fricative consonants (Hamann; Sennema, 2005; Maniwa; Jongman; Wade, 2009; Gradoville, 2011). Statistical analysis was conducted using the Wilcoxon and Kruskal-Wallis tests. The results reveal an ongoing devoicing process of consonant clusters at word boundaries in BP. The study's findings indicate the presence of the devoicing phenomenon across all examined cluster types [ps, ts, ks, bs, ds, gs], regardless of the subsequent presence of a vowel, constituting and ongoing sound change. This observation bears resemblance to the word-final devoicing tendencies observed in other Romance languages like European Portuguese (Jesus; Shadle, 2002), Catalan (Carbonell; Llisterri, (2009), French (Jatteau et al., 2019) and Romanian (Hutin et al., 2020). Moreover, the study discerns two phonological patterns employed by individuals: on one hand, sibilants are occasionally voiced due to the presence of a following vowel (e.g., redes argentinas [hedzah.ʒẽ.'tʃi.nəs] 'Argentine hammocks'); on the other hand, they are sometimes unvoiced as a result of consonantal devoicing (e.g., [hetsah.ʒẽ.'tʃi.nəs]), leading to the production of both anticipated and unanticipated forms. The statistical analysis underscores the importance of the adjacent phonological context in relation to sibilant voicing. Moreover, spectrographic analysis found that not only sibilants but also their preceding stops are devoiced. Observations regarding the lexical item variable suggest a tendency to voice the sibilant more strongly when the preceding phonological context is voiced (e.g., plebes [plɛbz], caribes [ka.'ɾibz], sangues [sə̃gz]). Additionally, higher rates of voicing are observed in words that constitute potential minimal pairs (e.g., grades ‘grids’, sedes ‘headquarters’, and ringues ‘rings’, in contrast to grátis ‘free’, setes ‘seven’, and rinques ‘rinks’), possibly aimed at preserving intelligibility. Drawing on the framework of Exemplars Model, the study proposes a competition between the following phonological environment and the phenomenon of consonantal devoicing. We also propose that fine phonetic detail, whether associated with allophonic or emergent sound patterns, contributes to the construction of phonological representations.","speakers":[{"guid":"265f81c9-d42d-55d1-bdc2-6d25d22cc1dd","id":336,"image":"/system/people/avatars/000/000/336/original/avatar3.PNG?1602015320","name":"Wellington Mendes","public_name":"Wellington Mendes","email":"wellington.matt@gmail.com","abstract":"Wellington Mendes is a researcher at the Federal Center for Technological Education of Minas Gerais (CEFET-MG), Brazil.

While there are many works focussing on syntactic and lexical skills, the realm of hesitancy, disfluency and repair has been regarded mostly as an indicator of mistakes and proof of an “incomplete” acquisition process (Polinsky 2011, 2018). Since self-repair has been proven to be a systematic and recurring phenomenon, it could be reconceptualised as a skill and a regular practice in spoken language rather than an expression of error. Especially the act of self-initiated self-repair indicates the existence of a strong language monitor (Levelt 1989). Since there has been, to the best of my knowledge, no systematic research of heritage speakers` self-repair, the thesis that this talk is based on will start by taking stock of heritage speakers` and monolinguals` self-repair practices from a quantitative perspective: How much does each group repair and are there differences between the language groups?\r\nTo examine the distribution of self-repairs, the RUEG corpus was searched for self-interruptions. By adding a new annotation, two sub-corpora focussing on German (heritage speakers and monolinguals) and English self-repairs were created. In doing so, a first frequentist analysis of repair phenomena is possible while further analysis (quantitative or qualitative) will also be facilitated. \r\nThis talk will give a brief overview of some theoretical approaches to self-repair from a generative framework and then present the corpus analysis of German and English heritage speakers’ self-repair practices.\r\n\r\n\r\nBibliography\r\nLevelt, W.

The first step usually lies in the reconstruction of its phoneme system. The reconstruction of the Proto-Indo-European (PIE) phoneme system has been underway for around 200 years now. At the same time there are still new discoveries being made. In recent time (Kümmel 2007), criticism of the current methodology has come up: While the phonemic reconstruction is usually very systematic and algebraic, this leads many linguists to be content with their reconstruction as soon as they figure out their cognates, sound correspondences, and sound laws. Historical linguists ought to also account for the plausibility of those sound changes which can only be done if we have knowledge about the phonetic characteristics of the proto sound and its descendants.\r\n\r\n One sound which is reconstructed in the handbooks without justification of its phonetic properties is the sole sibilant of PIE, *s. While the wealth of phonetic articulations of sibilants is long known (see e.g. Ladefoged, \u0026 Maddieson 1996), PIE *s is usually said to be an alveolar or dental sibilant. As Vijūnas (2010) has pointed out, PIE *s and its early descendants may rather be reconstructed as a retracted sibilant. His arguments are, however, rather shortsighted and need some revision. In this talk, I will present some of the arguments for the reconstruction of a retracted (more concret: flat apical postalveolar) sibilant. This includes typological considerations, loan contact between early Romance, Germanic and Finnic languages, plausibility of sound changes in Latin, Greek, and Celtic, and lastly, graphic evidence of the Anatolian languages.\r\n\r\nLiterature: \r\nAdams, D.

One of the cases where current wisdom may need to be revised is the reconstruction of PIE’s sole sibilant *s. Traditionally reconstructed as a voiceless alveolar sibilant, it may be more accurately described as a flat apical postalveolar sibilant.

It is standard practice to calculate the information content of a word by using the occurrence probability taken from language corpora. This approach aggregates word frequencies across contexts, creating the illusion that words occur uniformly. However, this observation does not align with empirical findings which show bursty behaviour in language, where words with initially low occurrence probabilities often exhibit a higher likelihood of reoccurrence once introduced in a specific context (Katz, 1996). The potential impact of burstiness has been largely overlooked in probabilistic research on language processing.\r\nIn our elicitation study participants were instructed to describe object movements to an absent listener. We investigated whether speakers demonstrate sensitivity to dynamic probabilities and adjust their nominal reference phrases accordingly.\r\nBased on the findings of Krauss and Weinheimer (1964), we predicted that speakers adjust the length of their reference phrases based on lexical frequency, resulting in longer reference phrases for relatively lower frequency nouns. However, our data could not sustain this hypothesis which we attribute to the absence of a discourse partner in our study. Consistent with proposals that prenominal adjectives increase noun predictability (Dye et al., 2018), we correctly predicted that participants would show a higher probability for noun modification at first mention than at subsequent mentions of the referent. These findings indicate that speakers re-evaluate a word’s probability to reoccur in context, supporting the idea that speakers manage uncertainty and informativity not only by using the overall statistical distribution of words but also by dynamically adjusting expectations of occurrence probabilities even in the absence of a discourse partner.\r\nOur findings indicate that considering burstiness and dynamic probabilities is essential for advancing research on language processing.","speakers":[{"guid":"7415536c-51cd-54ad-9a8e-54ec426e5ee2","id":989,"image":null,"name":"Santina S.

Among these, the Russian accent in English has attracted attention for its distinctive phonetic characteristics and its representation in media and popular culture, often underpinned by broad cultural stereotypes. Traditionally, the notion of ‘Russian accent’ has been broadly applied to all speakers from Russia, attributed to the transfer of linguistic features of the Russian language to English. However, this perspective overlooks Russia's rich ethno-linguistic diversity, shaped over centuries, which presents a multilingual landscape far more complex than commonly acknowledged. This diversity suggests the existence of accent qualities influenced by the native languages of various ethnic groups within Russia (e.g. Tatars, Bashkirs, Udmurts, Chechens, Avars, Yakuts, Buryats, and more), potentially distinct from the traditional Russian accent in English. This study pioneers an in-depth analysis of English pronunciation variations among four ethnic groups from the Volga Federal District in Russia: Bashkirs, Tatars, Udmurts, and ethnic Russians, whose native languages represent three different language families: Indo-European (Russian), Turkic (Tatar and Bashkir), and Finno-Ugric (Udmurt). The actual pronunciation patterns at the segmental level (vowels and consonants) were explored, based on the recordings of ninety-six individuals reading the passage ‘The Boy Who Cried Wolf’. This empirical research was supplemented by contrastive analysis, which helped to identify transfer effects from the speakers' native languages to their English pronunciation. By investigating these nuances, this research aims to challenge and expand the conventional understanding of the Russian accent in English, illuminating the impact of Russia's ethno-linguistic diversity on English pronunciation. Beyond contributing to the field of accent studies, this investigation enriches our understanding of language learning processes in multilingual settings, advocating for a more nuanced recognition of linguistic diversity.","duration":1800,"time_slots":6,"logo":null,"type":"lecture","do_not_record":false,"track":"Phonetics and Phonology","abstract":null,"speakers":[{"guid":"163b6a60-7811-5ebc-a464-1b994f62c6b3","id":997,"image":null,"name":"Ilshat Sultanovich ","public_name":"Ilshat Sultanovich ","abstract":null,"description":null,"links":[]}],"start_time":"2024-05-10T16:40:00.000+02:00","end_time":"2024-05-10T17:10:00.000+02:00","room":{"name":"Seashell (33.4.032)","id":149}},{"id":1150,"guid":"9427e0f6-7870-46c0-b6a7-2c1cb146760b","title":"Silbeninversionssprachen in der europäischen Peripherie","language":"de","subtitle":"ruovttogiella (nordsaamisch) und šatrovački (neuštokavisch) im Vergleich","description":null,"duration":1800,"time_slots":6,"logo":null,"type":"lecture","do_not_record":false,"track":"Typology and Variational Linguistics","abstract":"Das Phänomen, dass Sprachformen entstehen, bei denen phonologische Wörter umsegmentiert werden – etwa mittels Silbenmetathese – ist an unterschiedlichen Orten auf der Welt unabhängig voneinander entstanden.

Freundesgespräche eigenen sich für die vorliegende Untersuchung am besten, da diese eine vertraute Gesprächssituation darstellen und so die natürliche Sprechweise der teilnehmenden Personen getriggert wird. Die Gespräche werden auf die für den südmittelbairischen Dialektraum typischen Dialektphänomene Vokalrundung und Vokalentrundung untersucht. Außerdem wird die l-Realisierung analysiert. Dabei wird besonders die Verwendung von vokalisiertem [l] und retroflex realisiertem [ɭ] untersucht, da diese ebenso als typisch für die beiden Untersuchungsorte gelten. Es soll ein Einblick in durchgeführten Untersuchungen und deren Ergebnisse präsentiert werden. Diese beinhalten, dass vor allem bei Sprecher:innen der älteren Altersgruppe im ruralen Raum die Dialektverwendung am stärksten ist, da die relevanten Dialektphänomene bei diesen Personen am häufigsten auftreten.

Dazu bieten sich insbesondere Social-Media-Plattformen an, welche auch eine Kommentarfunktion bieten, in denen sogenannte Echokammern entstehen, wie z.B. Youtube. Die Arbeit betrachtet die sprachliche Selbst- und Fremdpositionierung in der Kommentarspalte eines Videos („Frau, die neue Herrenrasse #MeToo F*ck You! (MGTOW Deutsch) | dig.ga“), welches inhaltlich der „Incel“-Szene zuzuordnen ist. Die Kommentare spiegeln in vielen Fällen die im Video geäußerten Ansichten wider und verschärfen diese noch. Ziel war es, zu betrachten, wie sich die Kommentierenden sprachlich selbstpositionieren und ob sich übergreifende Muster dabei identifizieren lassen. Es wird auf Radikalisierung online mit einem Schwerpunkt auf die „Incel“-Szene eingegangen, wonach die theoretischen Grundlagen des Stancetakings erklärt werden, bevor sich explizit mit dem genannten Video und den Kommentaren beschäftigt wird. Die Methodik schließt eine Kodifizierung der Kommentare nach Länge, alignment zum Videoinhalt, explizite sowie implizite Selbstpositionierung, Emotionsgehalt/Konnotation und Wortwahl mit ein. Es zeigt sich, dass verschiedene sprachliche Mittel zur Herstellung einer Gruppenzugehörigkeit, sowie persönliche Berichte und eine emotionale Wortwahl zu einer expliziten Abgrenzung von bestimmten Gruppen die Selbst- und Fremdpositionierung prägen und ein dichotomes Gesellschaftsbild schaffen. Des Weiteren wird von angeblich potenziell bedrohlichen Zukunftsszenarien geschrieben, welche durch emotionsgeladenes Vokabular verstärkt wird, um die eigene Ideologie und Identität als Gruppe zu stärken und legitimieren. Es zeigt sich, wie in den Kommentarspalten eine menschenverachtende Ideologie, welche im Video wiedergegeben wird, auf einer öffentlichen Plattform noch zu einer weiteren Radikalisierung führen kann, indem diese Strategien explizit durch emotionale Wortwahl und Positionierung durch Abgrenzung und Selbstdarstellung genutzt werden. Gesellschaftliche Differenzen werden dort hochstilisiert und die Spannung zwischen dem Selbst und „den Anderen“ ideologisch verschärft; dies bietet fruchtbaren Boden für Radikalisierungsprozesse.

Intercultural competence refers to the ability to effectively communicate and interact with people from different cultures. It involves being aware of one's own cultural biases and assumptions, as well as understanding and respecting the beliefs, values, and practices of others. Intercultural competence is “a set of cognitive, affective, and behavioral skills and characteristics that support effective and appropriate interaction in a variety of cultural contexts” (Deardorff 2006; 241). The aim of the present study was to explore the impact of studying abroad on the development of intercultural competence among international students in Poland. Data for this study were collected through a survey that included open-ended questions and elicited responses from participants studying in Poland, originating from diverse countries and cultural backgrounds. The findings revealed that studying abroad significantly contributes to the development of intercultural competence among international students and increases awareness of cultural differences. Additionally, they gain a better understanding of cultural differences, which helps them become more tolerant and open-minded. By embracing the opportunity to study abroad, students can unlock their full potential in terms of cultural understanding.","speakers":[{"guid":"deff1cb7-728c-5664-82b4-a99e8fa47548","id":1059,"image":null,"name":"Turkan ","public_name":"Turkan ","email":"turfar@st.amu.edu.pl","abstract":null,"description":null,"links":[]}],"start_time":"2024-05-11T09:30:00.000+02:00","end_time":"2024-05-11T10:00:00.000+02:00","room":{"name":"Seashell (33.4.032)","id":149}},{"id":1168,"guid":"a4596f69-b358-48ac-8750-d82db966f484","title":"The language of pain in Bolivian Quechua and Spanish","language":"en","subtitle":null,"description":"In the field of ethnolinguistics, most scholars agree that languages are shaped in large parts by the culture that uses them (e.g. Wierzbicka 1992; Everett 2012), and while great attention has already been given to exploring cross-linguistic differences in culturally significant concepts, such as emotion (Wierzbicka 1999; Dylman et al. 2020) or kinship (Pasternak 1976; Passmore \u0026 Jordan 2020), the language of pain remains mostly unexplored. However, previous research has already shown that the perception and processing of pain appears to be dependent on culture (c.f. Peacock \u0026 Patel 2008; Rogger et al. 2023). In particular, the Quechua people of the Andes believe that the experience of pain is tightly linked not only to one’s physical, but also emotional and spiritual state, which stands in contrast to some of the Spanish-speaking Mestizo and White population (Incayawar \u0026 Saucier 2015). And if we assume that culture shapes linguistic expression, differences in the pain expressions between the two cultures are to be expected as well.\r\nThis leads to the following research question: How do pain expressions across and between Bolivian Quechua (BQ) and Spanish (BS) differ?\r\nFor this purpose, this research project will first explore general differences between BQ and BS in regard to semantics, morphology and grammatical structure by eliciting data on pain interjections (e.g. BQ ¡Ayayay! ‘Ouch!’) and pain terminology (e.g. BQ phuti ‘emotional pain’ and BS dolor ‘physical or emotional pain’). Elicitation methods will take both an onomasiological as well as semasiological approach: For instance, study participants will be asked to look at images depicting situations related to physical or psychological pain (e.g. person stubbing their toe or mourning at a grave) and either describe what the person might be saying or name – in their native language – the type of pain that the person seems to be experiencing. They will also be asked to orally describe possible scenarios that involve specific pain expressions. On the one hand, this will allow the elicitation of new data, and on the other hand, it also enables the verification of previous assumptions about functional properties of expressions. In order to describe the semantics accurately and account for colexification as well as dyslexification, it will also be necessary to discuss and categorize pain types from a non-linguistic (i.e. medical) viewpoint, by distinguishing cold-induced pain from heat-induced pain, for example.\r\nIn a second part, this project will investigate the interaction between both languages regarding speakers with BQ as their L1 and BS as their L2. For instance, it will explore how L2 speakers of BS talk about pain treatment in traditional Quechua medicine and the possible use of SQ loan words where BS terminology does not exist. In this case, data will be elicited via narrative interviews to facilitate code-switching in mid-sentence. Additionally, the project will look at multilingual medical field guides dealing with the diagnosis and treatment of pain, such as Morató Peña (1994), to further explore the influence of BQ on BS.\r\n\r\nReferences:\r\nDylman, Alexandra S., Marie-France Champoux-Larsson \u0026 Ingrid Zakrisson. 2020.

We have tested our predictions in elicitation sessions with speakers of the language and found strong evidence in favor of most of the earlier proposed sound correspondences and propose changes to the reconstruction of other sounds.

This seems less surprising considering Bybee's (1985) well-established assumption that suppletion in verb paradigms is more likely to appear along the more “relevant” categories, that is, those categories that more heavily affect the basic meaning of the stem. In fact, Bybee considers gender agreement the least relevant verbal category, making verb suppletion by gender the least likely type of verb suppletion conceivable.\r\n\r\nTo make sense of this phenomenon, I record the numbers and meanings of the suppletive verb stems, the gender systems they are embedded in, and the alignment types they tend to follow.

Das heißt, sie ziehen für das ganze Studium oder Teile davon in deutschsprachige Länder. Dabei müssen sie nicht nur aktiv am Unterrichtsgeschehen teilnehmen, sondern auch eine Vielfalt von alltäglichen Herausforderungen bewältigen. Zu diesen gehören auch das Verstehen und Unterschreiben von Mietverträgen. \r\n\r\nIn diesem Beitrag wird der Frage nachgegangen, ob internationale Studierende mit Deutschkenntnissen auf dem Niveau B1 über ausreichend Wortschatz verfügen, um potenziell einen Mietvertrag zu unterschreiben, sofern Sie den Wortschatz aus den Wortlisten des Goethe-Instituts (Niveaus A1 - B1) beherrschen.\r\n\r\nZu diesen Zwecken wurden eine qualitative und eine quantitative korpusanalytische Untersuchung durchgeführt. Es wurde ein Korpus von 16 Mietverträgen mithilfe des Programms Sketch-Engine erarbeitet. Ermittelt wurde, welcher Wortschatz in Mietverträgen vorkommt und inwiefern dieser Wortschatz in den Goethe-Wortlisten auf den Niveaus A1 bis B1 vorhanden ist. Außerdem wurde der in den Goethe-Listen nicht vorhandene Fachwortschatz analysiert. \r\n\r\nDie Ergebnisse zeigen, dass der Wortschatz in den Goethe-Wortlisten bis zum Niveau B1 nicht genügt, um den Wortschatz eines Mietvertrags zu verstehen und dementsprechend den Mietvertrag potenziell zu unterschreiben. Es wird schließlich an einem Beispiel gezeigt, wie die Desiderate in den Goethe-Wortlisten erfüllt werden können und exemplarisches Unterrichtsmaterial präsentiert. Dieses soll den Lernenden helfen, den für Mietverträge relevanten Wortschatz einzuüben.\r\n\r\nVortragssprache: Deutsch\r\nLinguistisches Teilgebiet: Korpuslinguistik, DaF/DaZ\r\n","speakers":[{"guid":"eb1ed906-1f8b-51b0-8059-8e55afcdde1f","id":1036,"image":null,"name":"Ana Mihaela Velički","public_name":"Ana Mihaela Velički","abstract":null,"description":null,"links":[]},{"guid":"fad6ca24-d452-54fc-89ca-010a91a3cc06","id":1037,"image":null,"name":"Krystyna Fedina","public_name":"Krystyna Fedina","abstract":null,"description":null,"links":[]}],"start_time":"2024-05-09T14:10:00.000+02:00","end_time":"2024-05-09T14:40:00.000+02:00","room":{"name":"Squid (33.0.008)","id":143}},{"id":1146,"guid":"cef46bb9-ac88-42c7-b1a1-302108436f7b","title":"Zwischen Onomastik und Place-making:","language":"de","subtitle":"Texte des 12. Jahrhunderts als Raum für historische (Orts-)Namensforschung.","description":"Die Onomastik beschäftigt sich mit Namen aller Art und stellt dabei häufig Auftreten, Verwendung und Funktion derselben in den Mittelpunkt der Untersuchung. Während sog. literarische Namen in vielen Punkten bereits gut erschlossen sind, stellt die sprachwissenschaftliche Beschreibung literarischer Namen des Mittelalters weitestgehend eine Forschungslücke dar. Aus diesem Grund habe ich mich im Rahmen meiner Seminararbeit mit den folgenden Fragen beschäftigt:\r\n1)\tWelche Funktionen erfüllen Namen in mittelalterlichen Texten?\r\n2)\tInwieweit unterscheidet sich der Einsatz verschiedener Namen von Textgattung zu Textgattung?\r\n3)\tInwiefern sind Methoden der Onomastik auf mittelalterliche Texte anwendbar?\r\n4)\tInwiefern lässt sich die Theorie des place-making (siehe Warnke, Busse 2014) in diesem Kontext anwenden?\r\nDas für die Arbeit verwendete Korpus setzt sich aus ausgewählten Texten der Vorauer Sammelhandschrift (Cod 276, Mitte des 12. Jahrhunderts) zusammen, wobei ein chronikaler Text (Kaiserchronik), (bibel-)epische Texte und (Das Leben Jesu von Ava, Vorauer Alexander), ein predigthafter bzw. geistlicher (Gebet einer Frau) Text einer genaueren Analyse unterzogen wurden. Die in den jeweiligen Texten auftretenden Namen wurden nach den Kriterien Häufigkeit (textübergreifend), Herkunft, Prestige/Geschichtlichkeit und Sprachhistorie analysiert und miteinander verglichen. Auch die Theorie des place-making wurde angewendet, um die Funktion der (Orts-)Namen im jeweiligen Text zu analysieren.\r\nIn Form eines Posters soll mein Beitrag einen Einblick in das beschriebene Forschungsprojekt geben und diskutieren, inwieweit literarische Quellen für sprachwissenschaftliche Untersuchungen herangezogen werden können und inwieweit Onomastik als genuin linguistische Kompetenz die historische Literaturwissenschaft bereichert.","duration":600,"time_slots":2,"logo":null,"type":"Poster","do_not_record":false,"track":"Historical Linguistics","abstract":null,"speakers":[{"guid":"850a4ae3-c5d7-543e-a338-8b7361c809a3","id":912,"image":null,"name":"Dorothea Sichrovsky","public_name":"Dorothea Sichrovsky","email":"dorothea.sichrovsky@univie.ac.at","abstract":null,"description":null,"links":[]}],"start_time":"2024-05-10T10:20:00.000+02:00","end_time":"2024-05-10T10:30:00.000+02:00","room":{"name":"Poster titles","id":156}}]}}
