Leibniz-Zentrum Allgemeine Sprachwissenschaft (ZAS)
Jordan Chark is a doctoral researcher (MGK Fellow) in the DFG project A05 Modeling meaning-driven register variation within the framework of the SFB 1412 Register: Language-Users’ Knowledge of Situational-Functional Variation / Research area 4 ‘Semantics & Pragmatics’.
Chark’s dissertation proposal is entitled “Understanding meaning-based variation along the grammaticalization trajectory” and situates itself within the wider goal of project A05 to model meaning-based variation. Chark intends to do so by investigating the following question: How does variation in synchrony relate to well-established patterns of diachronic change?

Innerhalb weniger Generationen entstehen diese Sprachen dort, wo Menschen ohne gemeinsame Sprache miteinander kommunizieren müssen. Unser Projekt A02 "Speaker's choices in a creole context: Bislama and Morisien" untersucht zwei Kreolsprachen aus Melanesien und Mauritius. Wir sprechen mit Manfred Krifka und Tonjes Veenstra.Lüdeling, Anke; Akbari, Roodabeh; Buchmüller, Olga; Chark, Jordan; Döring, Sophia; Golcher, Felix; Schmidt, Peter (2023) Podcast: Was ist ein Register? [ViVo] Was ist damit gemeint, wenn wir in der Linguistik von "Registern" sprechen und warum ist das überhaupt interessant? Wir zeigen Beispiele dafür, wie Sprecher*innen zwischen Registern wechseln und was passiert, wenn das falsche Register gewählt wird. Anke Lüdeling erzählt uns in einem Interview, wie die Idee zu dem Sonderforschungsbereich entstanden ist.
