The forced migration of more than 12 million German speaking people from their former homes in Central and Eastern Europe did not only have serious impact on the varieties spoken there but it also brought about an entirely new and highly complex contact of German varieties wherever they settled. Focusing on a clearly defined region in Mecklenburg, the research project will for the first time take into account systematically the linguistic consequences of the refugees integration into their new home region. This represents an innovative perspective on the German language history of the 20th century. The complex constellations of varieties within the local communication spaces will be reconstructed according to the three social communities of city, small town and village. The shifts taking place in the hierarchical spectrum of varieties will be examined in the decades from the war until today. Apart from the sociolinguistic, pragmatic and perceptual aspects of the language development beginning in 1945, the structural changes will be analysed with respect to Low German, the regional Mecklenburg standard variety and the varieties of origin that the refugees brought with them. The diachronic research is empirically based on detailed interviews with 90 informants. Each of them were interviewed with respect to their biography and their language biography. Additionally, they were asked to do several language tests. There are four groups among the informants: refugees born in the 1920s and 1930s, their descendants already born in Mecklenburg after 1950 and both the respective age groups of the native Mecklenburg population. The biographical and metalinguistic data are correlated with the performative data about the actual language use of dialects and of the regional standard varieties. The language performance of the interviewed is examined by a frequency analysis of exemplary phonetic and morphosyntactic features. This allows for an exact evaluation of the convergency processes between the different varieties.

1200多万讲德语的人被迫离开中欧和东欧的家园，这不仅对那里的德语品种产生了严重影响，而且在他们定居的地方，也带来了一种全新的、高度复杂的德语品种接触。该研究项目以梅克伦堡一个明确界定的地区为重点，将首次系统地考虑难民融入其新家园地区的语言后果。这代表了对20世纪德语历史的一种创新视角。根据城市、小镇和村庄这三个社会社区，在当地的交流空间内，形成复杂的品种星座。从战争到今天的几十年里，将对品种等级谱中发生的变化进行研究。除了从1945年开始的语言发展的社会语言学、语用学和感性方面外，还将分析有关低地德语、梅克伦堡地区标准变体和难民带来的起源变体的结构变化。历时性研究是基于对90名举报人的详细访谈。他们每个人都接受了关于他们的传记和语言传记的采访。此外，他们还被要求做几项语言测试。举报人分为四类：出生在20世纪20年代和30年代的难民，他们的后代在1950年后已经出生在梅克伦堡，以及梅克伦堡本地人口的各自年龄组。传记性和元语言学数据与方言和地区标准变体的实际语言使用的行为数据相关联。通过对典型语音和形态句法特征的频率分析来检查受访者的语言表现。这允许对不同品种之间的收敛过程进行精确的评估。
