"Plattdeutsch ist eine Sprache unserer Zeit." So beginnt das - auf Hochdeutsch verfasste - Vorwort von "Platt. Dat Lehrbook", 2016 herausgegeben vom Institut für niederdeutsche Sprache in Bremen. Auch andernorts bemüht man sich um die zeitgemäße Verbreitung des Niederdeutschen: auf Websites wie 'Plattnet' und 'Plattdeutsch.net', bei Festivals und Wettbewerben wie 'Plattart', 'Plattsounds' oder 'Platt is cool', in der Gestaltung von Grundschullehrplänen in den norddeutschen Bundesländern. Was bei alldem auffällt, ist die Nähe derzeitiger Platt-Vermittlung zu Programmen sprachlicher und kultureller Diversität.
O Rio Grande do Sul (RS) recebeu, em 1824, os primeiros imigrantes alemães vindos da região do Hunsrück, Alemanha (ALTENHOFEN 1996). Posteriormente, por volta de 1873, chegaram os imigrantes alemães da Boêmia, região da atual República Tcheca (HABEL 2017). Com isso, ocorreu um intenso contato linguístico entre essas variedades dialetais. Como ainda não foram identificados estudos sobre o sistema consonantal dessa língua falada pelos descendentes de alemães boêmios, é feita, inicialmente, uma revisão bibliográfica do alemão Standard e da variedade de imigração alemã, Hunsrückisch. Assim, o objetivo desse estudo é fazer uma descrição preliminar de alguns aspectos do sistema fonético-fonológico das consoantes do alemão boêmio em um ponto de pesquisa do RS, tendo como base, em especial, o alemão Standard.
This paper deals with selected semantic, morphological and syntactic characteristics of Yiddish modal verbs, compared to their cognates in German and other Germanic language. In particular, it focuses on the modal ker, the subjunctive zoln and the conditional with volt. The synchronic description is completed by diachronic observations which refer to the Middle High German basis of Yiddish.
This paper discusses a foundation for writing Hunsrückisch as a German immigrant language in contact with Brazilian Portuguese. This foundation brings together the main conclusions obtained by the Group for the Studies of Hunsrückisch Writing (Grupo de Estudos da Escrita do Hunsrückisch – ESCRITHU). This group was formed at the Language Institute at the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul with the goal of proposing not only a system of orthographic norms for a language that exists mostly just in oral forms, but also to encourage research on and linguistic education for speakers of this immigrant language. An already extant literature in Hunsrückisch includes journal and magazine texts such as Sankt Paulusblatt or the Brummbär-Kalendar, published between 1931 and 1935, as well as texts by authors such as Rambo (2002 [1937-1961]), Gross (2001), and Rottmann (1889 [1840]). From these texts various writing formats, guidelines, and goals for an orthographic norm are analyzed, be they for the written expression of the speakers or for useful instruments in the transliteration of ethnotexts within the ALMA-H project (Linguistic- Contactual Atlas of the German Minorities in the La Plata Basin: Hunsrückisch), with which ESCRITHU collaborates.
Bis heute bildet die Morphologie keinen Schwerpunkt der Dialektlinguistik. Dies wird immer wieder moniert. H. Tatzreiter (1994) kommt nach seinem Streifzug durch die "Bibliographie zur Grammatik der deutschen Dialekte" von P. Wiesinger / E. Raffin (1982) zu dem Ergebnis, "daß die Leistungskurve im grammatischen Bereich ,von der Lautlehre über die Formen- und Wortbildungslehre bis zur Satzlehre' steil abfällt" (S. 30 bzw. P. Wiesinger / E. Raffin 1982, S. XXIX). Ein weiteres Problem sieht er in der besonders durch die angelsächsische Tradition motivierten Vernachlässigung der Morphologie die zwischen der phonologischen, lexikalischen und syntaktischen Ebene ein gefährdetes Dasein fristet" (S. 30): "So lange die Morphologie sich nicht aus der 'Umklammerung' der Phonologie und Syntax lösen kann, um eigenständig als Forschungsobjekt zu gelten, wird es um die umfassende Erforschung und Darstellung schlecht bestellt sein" (S. 34).
Der Präteritumschwund dürfte eine der markantesten morphologischen Entwicklungen des Alemannischen (bzw. Oberdeutschen) bilden. Sein Verlauf in schweizerdeutschen Dialekten ist mit der Arbeit von JÖRG (1976) dokumentiert und ungefiibr ins 16. Jahrhundert zu datieren. Konsequenz der Aufgabe dieses synthetischen Verfahrens war die Verlegung der Vergangenheitskategorie in die Syntax. Dies hat zu einer starken typologischen Drift des Alemannischen in Richtung eines analytischen und zusätzlich klammernden Sprachtyps geführt: Das Perfekt ist zweigliedrig (finites Auxiliar + infinites Vollverb), das Plusquamperfekt sogar dreigliedrig (sogenanntes doppeltes Perfekt). Finites und infinites Verb können durch ganze Satzglieder, Adverbien etc. voneinander getrennt sein, sind also unter Umständen weit voneinander entfernt, was das Ausdrucksverfahren nicht gerade vereinfacht. Der Präteritumschwuud kontrastiert in eigentümlicher Weise mit dem Erhalt, ja sogar dem sekundären Ausbau synthetischer Konjunktivformen (sowohl Konjunktiv I als auch II), die weiteres morphologisches Charakteristikum des Alemannischen sind, doch nicht Thema dieses Beitrags (hierzu s. NÜBLING 1997).
This paper discusses the assessment of German language learners in classes for beginners in a context gathering monolingual Portuguese speakers and bilingual speakers of Portuguese and Hunsrückisch, a German dialect derived from the contact of an immigration language and Portuguese. One of the challanges faced by the teachers of these heterogeneous classes is to assess learners’ classroom achievement once dialect speakers’ needs are considerably different from novice learners’. It is suggested that teachers make a compromise between the course objectives and the learners’ different proficiencies and needs to assess their language progress, incorporating and valuing students’ multicultural and experiential backgrounds.
Based on the bilingualism and ethnolinguistic identity research, this study aims to observe the role identity and linguistic attitudes play in a minority mother language’s maintenance or shifting process in early bilingualism cases in a societal bilingualism situation. The analyzed context comprises native speakers of essentially bilingual communities that migrate to an urban center like Porto Alegre, where the opportunities for minority mother language use are drastically restrained by the monolingual Portuguese context. It’s asked how this language was maintained and what is the identity and linguistic attitude after the removal of the original context identified as more rural, isolated and ethnic and culturally different. The data collection derives from semi-structured interviews, recorded and subsequently transcribed. The data analysis suggests that the ‘geographic’ factor isn’t so relevant to the maintenance/shifting of a minority language than the speaker’s ‘micro-decisions’ to preserve the cultural and affectionate ties with their origin group, the family. Besides family group, community, school and government should be called to come together to construct new ways for the linguistic and cultural preservation of the bilingual community in Brazil. In that sense, this research intends to contribute to a wider understanding of the identity and linguistics attitudes’ role in the languages’ teaching and learning in general.
Although there are many dialect speakers in Bavaria, the dialect - mainly because of its non-standardized spelling - is usually not used in common print media or on nationwide television. Nevertheless, the Bavarian dialect appears on Bavarian television (BR) and in cinema films. However, the Bavarian used on television or in films is frequently not a genuine dialect; instead it is a synthetic language which resembles the German standard and merely refers to the dialect. This is mainly due to the needs of non-dialect speakers, who would definitely have comprehension problems with the genuine dialect. Furthermore, the Bavarian dialect is often used on online platforms, such as Facebook or YouTube. In these conversational situations, face-to-face communication is replaced by written texts. In the case of dialect speakers, these texts can appear as written dialect; due to the non-standardized spelling, the texts are strongly individualized.
