A02
Speaker's choices in a creole context: Bislama and Morisien
Dieses Teilprojekt endete mit der ersten Förderungsphase Ende 2023.
Das Projekt A02 untersucht situationsabhängige individuelle sprachliche Variation und deren Einfluss auf den Ausdruck sozialer Bedeutung in Kreolsprachcommunities. Dies ist interessant, da Kreolsprachcommunities in hohem Maße mehrsprachig sind und die Sprecher*innen nicht nur zwischen Registern, sondern auch zwischen Sprachen wählen können. A02 betrachtet dazu Bislama, eine auf Englisch basierende Kreolsprache, die in Vanuatu gesprochen wird, und Kreol Morisien, eine auf Französisch basierende Kreolsprache in Mauritius. Angelehnt an den sprecherbasierten Ansatz des SFBs analysiert das Projekt die sprachliche Kreativität der Sprecher*innen. Dabei werden Aspekte situationeller und sozialer Bedeutung mit linguistischen Merkmalen in Zusammenhang gebracht und in beiden Communities verglichen. Ein Erkenntnisinteresse von A02 gilt der Entstehung neuer gesprochener und geschriebener Register.

Veenstra, Tonjes; Krifka, Manfred; Akbari, Roodabeh; Buchmüller, Olga; Chark, Jordan; Döring, Sophia; Golcher, Felix; Schmidt, Peter (2023) Podcast: Sprachen aus dem Schnellkochtopf: Register in Kreols (Teil 1) [ViVo] Kreolsprachen sind ein Wunder der Linguistik. 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.Lima, Suzi; Veenstra, Tonjes (2021) Complex structures in Brazilian Indigenous languages In: Boletim do Museu Paraense Emílio Goeldi. Ciências Humanas [DOI] [ViVo] Veenstra, Tonjes (2020) Introduction In: Advances in contact linguistics [DOI] [ViVo] Aboh, E.; Smith, N.; Veenstra, Tonjes (2020) Advances in contact linguistics[DOI] [ViVo] Issues in multilingualism and its implications for communities and society at large, language acquisition and use, language diversification, and creative language use associated with new linguistic identities have become hot topics in both scientific and popular debates. A ubiquitous aspect of multilingualism is language contact. This book contains twelve articles that discuss specific aspects of Contact Linguistics. These articles cover a wide range of topics in the field, including creoles, areal linguistics, language mixing, and the sociolinguistic aspects of interactions with audiences. The book is dedicated to Pieter Muysken whose work on pidgin and creole languages, mixed languages, code-switching, bilingualism, and areal linguistics has been ground-breaking and inspirational for the authors in this book, as well as numerous other scholars working on the various facets of this rapidly expanding field.

The following paper is an extract from the frame text of the proposal for the CRC 1412, which was submitted to the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft in 2019, followed by a successful onsite evaluation that took place in 2019. The CRC 1412 then started its work on January 1, 2020. The theoretical part of the frame text gives an extensive overview of the theoretical and empirical perspectives on register knowledge from the viewpoint of 2019. Due to the high collaborative effort of all PIs involved, the frame text is unique in its scope on register research, encompassing register-relevant aspects from variationist approaches, psycholinguistics, grammatical theory, acquisition theory, historical linguistics, phonology, phonetics, typology, corpus linguistics, and computational linguistics, as well as qualitative and quantitative modeling. Although our positions and hypotheses since its submission have developed further, the frame text is still a vital resource as a compilation of state-of-the-art register research and a documentation of the start of the CRC 1412. The theoretical part without administrative components therefore presents an ideal starter publication to kick off the CRC’s publication series REALIS.
