The volume explores new interfaces between linguistics and jurisprudence. Its theoretical and methodological importance lies in showing that many questions asked within language and law receive satisfactory answers from formal linguistics, including computational linguistics, artificial intelligence, translation studies, psycholinguistics, semantics, phonetics and corpus linguistics.
In variational linguistics, the concept of space has always been a central issue. However, different research traditions considering space coexisted for a long time separately. Traditional dialectology focused primarily on the diatopic dimension of linguistic variation, whereas in sociolinguistic studies diastratic and diaphasic dimensions were considered. For a long time only very few linguistic investigations tried to combine both research traditions in a two-dimensional design – a desideratum which is meant to be compensated by the contributions of this volume. The articles present findings from empirical studies which take on these different concepts and examine how they relate to one ...
Language acts are acts of identity, and linguistic variation reflects the multifaceted construction of verbal alternatives for transmitting social meaning, where style-shifting represents our ability to take up different social positions due to its potential for linguistic performance, rhetorical stance-taking and identity projection.Traditional variationist conceptualizations of style-shifting as a primarily responsive phenomenon seem unable to account for all stylistic choices. In contrast, more recent formulations see stylistic variation as initiative, creative and strategic in personal and interpersonal identity construction and projection, making a significant contribution to our unders...
This book examines how German-speaking Jews living in Berlin make sense and make use of their multilingual repertoire. With a focus on lexical variation, the book demonstrates how speakers integrate Yiddish and Hebrew elements into German for indexing belonging and for positioning themselves within the Jewish community. Linguistic choices are shaped by language ideologies (e.g., authenticity, prescriptivism, nostalgia). Speakers translanguage when using their multilingual repertoire, but do so in a diglossic way, using elements from different languages for specific domains.

Sprache und Kultur – ihr Zusammenspiel ist seit jeher Forschungsgegenstand der Wissenschaften. Dennoch wurden die Wechselwirkungen zwischen ihnen bisher stets nur aus jeweils einer Perspektive beleuchtet. Dieser Band vereint nun erstmals Beiträge aus Sprach- und Kulturwissenschaft, die sich mit Sprachwahrnehmungen von Dialektsprechern und ihren Auswirkungen auf regionale Kulturen und regionale Sprachformen gleichermaßen beschäftigen. Insbesondere in Bezug auf regionale Grenzen lassen sich so Überschneidungen von kulturellen und sprachlichen Charakteristika verdeutlichen. Daneben werden laufende Projekte vorgestellt, wie zum Beispiel der Atlas zur deutschen Alltagssprache, die – jenseits von sprachgeografischer Mundartforschung – den sprachlichen Lebensalltag im deutschsprachigen Raum abbilden. Damit gewährt dieser Band einen anregenden Einstieg in die moderne Dialektforschung.
The articles collected in this volume offer the most various access to the discussed questions on norm and variation. In their entirety, they reflect the current discussion of the topic. Focusing on the object languages German and English ensures a high level of topical consistency. On the other hand, the four large topic areas (emergence and change of norms and grammatical constructions; relationship of codes of norms and 'real' language usage; competition of standard and non-standard language norms; and subsistent norms of minority languages and «institutionalised second-language varieties») cover a large range of relevant issues, thereby certainly giving an impetus to new and further investigations.
