In a world where transnational migration and cross-cultural marriage have become increasingly common, more and more children are being brought up in families where more than a single language is used. Whether the desired bilingualism is a result a child’s mother and father speaking different L1s, or if the family lives outside of their own L1 culture thus necessitating the child to use an L2 outside the home for schooling and socialization (or even a mix of the two in the case of trilingual/mult

Call for Papers: The 41st International LAUD-Symposium explores the evolving landscape of dictionary-making, with a focus on English lexicography. Over the last years, this field has experienced fundamental changes. First and foremost, there is an ongoing shift among users towards online rather than traditional print dictionaries.

Large Language Models (LLMs) are creating new opportunities for research in the Social Sciences and Humanities (SSH), while raising important questions about research methodology, data, interpretation, reliability, integrity, ethics, and reproducibility. From analysing historical documents and cultural artefacts to studying social phenomena, language, and human behaviour, LLMs are now opening new avenues for research while challenging established paradigms to knowledge production. How can SSH

Measurement is a fundamental component of rigorous inquiry in Applied Linguistics. Whether researchers investigate language proficiency and development, vocabulary and grammar acquisition, classroom interaction and instructional effectiveness, multilingualism and language use, learner attitudes and beliefs, or cross-linguistic influence and language processing, their research claims are shaped by how phenomena are conceptualized, operationalized, measured, and interpreted. Measurement involves m

This volume presents the results of an intervention study involving 9th-grade high school students and apprentices in the hospitality industry, which empirically examines writing in a professional context.

To answer this question, both the written products and the writing

Der Zusammenhang zwischen Phonotaktik und Wortarten in den Dialekten des Deutschen wurde bislang kaum erforscht. Mit der vorliegenden Arbeit wird daher eine umfassende Untersuchung zur wortartengesteuerten Phonotaktik in den Dialekten des Deutschen geliefert, die verschiedene phonologische und morphologische Faktoren einbezieht (z. B. Flexion, Sonorität, Silbigkeit). Als Datengrundlage dienen dialektale Übersetzungen und freie Gespräche aus dem PhonD2-Korpus, die nach phonologischen und morpholo

Die niederschwellige Verfügbarkeit vieler (v.a. generativer) KI-Werkzeuge hat disruptive Tendenzen mit sich gebracht, die auch das Lehren und Lernen von Fremd- und Zweitsprachen betreffen. Lehrer:innen und Lerner:innen haben neue Möglichkeiten, Interaktionen, Lernprozesse sowie die Diagnostik individuell und adaptiv zu gestalten. Ziele und Prozesse des Sprachenlernens selbst drohen jedoch in eine Legitimierungskrise zu geraten. Die 46. Frühjahrskonferenz zur Erforschung des Fremdsprachenunterr

Der dreibändige Atlas bietet erstmals eine umfassende Darstellung und Analyse der vielfältigen Deutschschweizer Familiennamen. Systematisch untersucht er Grammatik, Lexik und Benennungsmotive und bringt dabei Sprache und Kultur des Mittelalters wie auch der Frühen Neuzeit ans Licht.

Ein innovatives Kartierungsverfahren rekonstruiert

This study treats variation in grammatical gender in Old Occitan. By integrating corpus-linguistic, typological, and sociolinguistic methods, the research succeeds in tracing the dynamics of gender-systems in usage. For this sake, a corpus was created based on 17 manuscripts from the Languedoc and Provence, written in the 13th and 14th centuries. This enables the author to grasp the variation present in medieval languages and avoids biases from the normalisation of editions. With this approach,
