This project aims at a systematic sociophonetic and sociolinguistic analysis of the sound shape of (multi-)ethnic young speech, adding to existing sociolinguistic knowledge of (multi-ethnolectal morphosyntax. The appearance of particular ways of speaking among certain groups of young speakers with so-called migration background (and partly also their network peers without such background) became noted towards the end of the last century in several European cities and has been described in the scholarly literature under different labels, multi-ethnolect being the most frequently used one. Most of the studies have dealt with discourse, lexical and grammatical phenomena, while only few scholars have addressed pronunciation. Considering that accent is one of the primary cues for indexing social identities (and hence also for social categorization), the project will focus on the sound shape of multi-ethnic speech. In the project a database will be composed, containing a variety of speech materials from speakers in the city of Stuttgart. Adolescents aged 14-17 and of comparable social and educational background will be recruited from two different neighborhoods (one multi-ethnic, one relatively mono-ethnic) and will be recorded in different speech activities, ranging from spontaneous conversation to controlled read speech. Acoustic and auditory phonetic analyses will be carried out on samples of the data in order to determine the type and amount of sociophonetic variation in the multi-ethnic group against the background of the mono-ethnic control group. Perception experiments as well as a study of the situational and interactional parameters related to the occurrence and suppression of ethnolectal sound features will shed light on the social interpretation of such variation.The project will be carried out in close cooperation with a similar project on Swiss-German multi-ethnolectal speech.

本项目旨在对（多）民族年轻人的语音进行系统的社会语音学和社会语言学分析，以补充现有的（多）民族语言形态句法的社会语言学知识。在上个世纪末，在几个欧洲城市，某些具有所谓移民背景的年轻人群体（以及部分没有这种背景的网络同龄人）中出现了特殊的说话方式，学术文献以不同的标签进行了描述，多民族语言是最常用的一种。大多数研究涉及语篇、词汇和语法现象，只有少数学者涉及语音。考虑到口音是索引社会身份（因此也是社会分类）的主要线索之一，该项目将侧重于多民族语言的声音形态。在该项目中，将组成一个数据库，其中包含来自斯图加特市演讲者的各种演讲材料。将从两个不同的社区（一个是多民族社区，一个是相对单一民族社区）招募14-17岁的具有可比社会和教育背景的青少年，并记录不同的言语活动，从自发对话到控制阅读言语。将对数据样本进行声学和听觉语音分析，以确定多民族群体在单民族对照组背景下的社会语音变化的类型和数量。感知实验以及与民族语言声音特征的出现和抑制有关的情景和干扰参数的研究将有助于阐明对这种变化的社会解释，该项目将与瑞士-德国多民族语言的类似项目密切合作进行。
