This paper presents doublets in the phonology and accentuation of a Kajkavian dialect in central Croatia, where all three major Croatian groups of dialects meet. Inconsistencies in the vowel and consonant systems are also noted. The second part considers the accentual system, its units and their distribution. Many fluctuations were noted, even with respect to retractions and special Kajkavian features. These are explained through influences of neihbouring local dialects and from the urban dialect of Karlovac and Standard Croatian.
Das Hauptziel dieses Beitrags besteht darin, anhand einer tiefergehenden prosodisch-phonologischen Analyse der häufigsten Rufnamen von 1945-2008 der Frage nachzugehen, ob im Laufe der Zeit eine Androgynisierung unserer Rufnamen dahingehend stattgefunden hat, dass Strukturen, die bislang dominant für das eine Geschlecht galten, zunehmend auch für das andere Geschlecht gewählt werden bzw. geschlechtspräferente Strukturen nivelliert oder gar abgebaut werden. Ein weiteres Ziel besteht darin, auf onymischer Ebene der These nachzugehen, dass in verschiedenen gesellschaftlichen Bereichen eine sog. Informalisierung und Intimisierung stattgefunden habe, die sich möglicherweise in heutigen Namen wie Lilly oder Nico statt früher Elisabeth und Nikolaus niederschlagen.
Im vorliegenden Beitrag wird danach gefragt, wie die Merkmale der Sprecher und Gebrauchssituationen, also die außersprachlichen Variablen, die den sprachlichen Varietäten zugrunde liegen, kategorisiert werden können. Natürlich ist diese Frage nicht neu. Seit Coseriu haben sich zahlreiche gestandene Soziolinguisten mit ihr beschäftigt (u. a. Albrecht 1986; Ammon 1987, 1995; Berruto 1980, 2004; Dittmar 1997; Löffler 2010). Hier wird der Versuch unternommen, sie in einer historischen Perspektive zu stellen, aber auch der, sie von der Gegenwart aus zu beantworten, die von einer Medienvielfalt geprägt ist, von der die Pioniere der Varietätenlinguistik nicht einmal träumen konnten.

In this article, we build on research arguing that linguistic self-representation on social media can be viewed as a form of face-work and that the strategies employed by users are influenced by both a desire to connect with others and a need to preserve privacy. Drawing on our own analyses of usernames as well as that of others which were conducted as part of a large-scale project investigating usernames in 14 languages (Schlobinski/T. Siever 2018a), we argue that these conflicting goals of wanting to be recognised as an authentic member of an in-group while retaining a degree of anonymity are also observable in the choice of username. Online self-naming can thus be viewed as a key practice in the debate of face-work on social media platforms, because names and naming strategies can be studied more readily than broader and more complex aspects, such as stylistic variation or text-image interdependence, while at the same time forming part of these.
"You don’t mind my calling you Harry?" : Terms of address in John Updike’s "Rabbit" tetralogy
(2020)
This paper examines the use of address terms in John Updike’s Rabbit tetralogy (Updike 1995). The first part of the analysis provides a comprehensive overview of the great variety of terms used to address the protagonist, Harry Angstrom, in the decades covered by the novels. The second part focuses on two important side characters, Reverend Eccles and Harry’s mother-in-law. It demonstrates how address term usage with these two characters reflects ongoing changes in their relationship with Harry. The main aim of the paper is to demonstrate the potential of fictional data for the study of address terms and, in return, to capture the manifold functions of address terms as a literary device in fiction.
This paper explores how refugee families in Germany draw on me-diational repertoires to accomplish a range of digital literacy prac-tices on their smartphones. We introduce the concept of ‘mediation-al repertoire’, i.e. a socially and individually structured configuration of semiotic and technological resources for communication, and use it in an ethnographic case study with participants from Syria and Af-ghanistan in a refugee residence in Hamburg in 2017/18. The collect-ed data includes nine semi-directed interviews, video demonstra-tions of smartphone usage, and ethnographic fieldnotes. Qualitative analysis draws on mediagrams, i.e. visualizations of mediational re-pertoires in two families. Findings suggest that individual mediation-al repertoires in these families differ especially by generation and other factors, such as literacy competence, type of social relation-ship and purpose of online use, including smartphone-based lang-uage-learning.
