Dina Serova ist wissenschaftliche Mitarbeiterin im SFB-Projekt „Register knowledge in Ancient Egypt“ (B03) am Lehrbereich „Archäologie und Kulturgeschichte Nordostafrikas“ der Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin.

Dina forscht zu altägyptischer Sprache und Texten in ihren jeweiligen archäologischen Kontexten unter Anwendung nicht nur soziologischer, kultur-, kunst- und religionswissenschaftlicher Ansätze, sondern auch unter Rückbezug auf Theorien multimodaler Kommunikation. Im Rahmen ihrer Registerforschung im SFB untersucht sie textexterne und -interne Merkmale altägyptischer Erzählungen sowie narrativer Textpassagen in potenziell nicht-narrativen Texten. Der aktuelle Fokus liegt dabei auf der Erfassung und Beschreibung der jeweiligen Situationsmerkmale, die auf die Kommunikation zwischen Autor:in / Auftraggeber:in / Sprecher:in und Adressat:in / Modell-Zuhörer:in / Modell-Leser:in und somit auf die Generierung und Realisierung des Textes direkten Einfluss ausüben. Die Charakteristika der Kommunikationssituation werden dabei mit den sprachlichen Merkmalen eines Textes (Lexik, Morphosyntax, Semantik, Pragmatik) korreliert. In synchroner und diachroner Perspektive angewandt auf ägyptisch-koptische Texte lassen sich verschiedene situationsbedingte bzw. -angepasste Strategien des Sprachgebrauchs ausmachen.

In the present review paper by members of the collaborative research center ‘Register: Language Users’ Knowledge of SituationalFunctional Variation’ (CRC 1412), we assess the pervasiveness of register phenomena across different time periods, languages, modalities, and cultures. We define ‘register’ as recurring variation in language use depending on the function of language and on the social situation. Informed by rich data, we aim to better understand and model the knowledge involved in situation- and function-based use of language register. In order to achieve this goal, we are using complementary methods and measures. In the review, we start by clarifying the concept of ‘register’, by reviewing the state of the art, and by setting out our methods and modeling goals. Against this background, we discuss three key challenges, two at the methodological level and one at the theoretical level: 1. To better uncover registers in text and spoken corpora, we propose changes to established analytical approaches. 2. To tease apart between-subject variability from the linguistic variability at issue (intra-individual situation based register variability), we use within-subject designs and the modeling of individuals’ social, language, and educational background. 3. We highlight a gap in cognitive modeling, viz. modeling the mental representations of register (processing), and present our first attempts at filling this gap. We argue that the targeted use of multiple complementary methods and measures supports investigating the pervasiveness of register phenomena and yields comprehensive insights into the cross-methodological robustness of register-related language variability. These comprehensive insights in turn provide a solid foundation for associated cognitive modeling.

The present guidelines describe the annotation of narrative phenomena on the clause level, using a combination of ideas and methods from linguistics and lit- erary studies. The main categories marking the discourse strategy “narration” in stretches of text have been narrowed down to mediacy, i. e. involving a narrator, and sequentiality of events. This document specifies how to define mediacy, and in turn determine whether a narrator is present, as well as how to identify events and their sequential ordering. Lastly, a functional layer annotation is proposed which allows researchers to compare different types of narrative instances. This offers a basis for investigating a potential narrative register which is said to be important for many kinds of register studies.
