's Bachmanns Anna und de Schmidte Karl' Grammar and Sociopragmatics of Unofficial Personal Names in German Dialects

拟议的项目系统地探讨语法结构和社会语用变化的非官方的个人名称在德语方言，一个主题，其中只有初步的研究存在。非正式的个人名字定义为名字和姓氏的组合，分别是非正式的姓氏，如'der Müller Peter'，''s Meiers Rita'或'Schulten Hein'。这些名称的特点是在方言之间以及在一种方言的个别系统内有广泛的结构变化。无论是地理差异还是制约这种变异的结构和社会语用因素，迄今为止都没有得到充分的探讨。从历史语言学和语法理论的角度来看，名名结构的结构在几个方面都很有趣。这一次，它们是德语方言中属格的最后保留。因此，它们的区域变化构成了属格逐渐减少的重要静态图像。另一方面，从共时角度看，这些变体代表了句法短语和复合词之间的不同过渡阶段，从而揭示了句法和派生之间过渡的产物，如's Müllers Peter' vs. 'der Müllers Peter' vs.'der Müller Peter'。到目前为止，这样的转变在历史上只描述了书面文件。具有方言名称、口语韵律等特征的主重音（der 'Müller Peter vs. s Mülers'Peter）可以被纳入一个综合研究。特定方言词干中的构式变异也可以从社会语用学的角度来考虑，探索在这些形式的使用中沉淀下来的社会差异：不同结构的社会语用条件反射了社会关系，例如社会接近度和距离。到目前为止，可以说，这种区别尤其发生在指称处于不同生命阶段的女性时（例如，属格短语将年轻妇女称为不可剥夺的财产）。为了探索这种变化，直接调查方法以及间接的二手资料（如方言语法）相结合的混合方法的方法。访谈还整合和测试来自社会科学的格式，如焦点小组。分析遵循自下而上的方法，从收集的数据中得出概括，并在第二步中测试理论假设。重要的是，尽快处理这个问题，因为可以说，对于这些方言系统中的许多系统（以及其他农村方言特征），它们已经减少到深深扎根于其居住地的老年人的活跃曲目。

The proposed project systematically explores the grammatical structures and sociopragmatic variation of unofficial personal names in German dialects, a topic, for which only rudimentary research exists. Unofficial personal names define as combinations of first names and family names respectively unofficial surnames such as 'der Müller Peter', 's Meiers Rita' or 'Schulten Hein'. They are preferably used in close social networks of rural communities to refer to absent referents.These names are characterised by extensive constructional variation, both between dialects as well as within the individual system of one dialect. Neither the geographical differentiation nor the structural and sociopragmatic aspects conditioning this variation are so far explored sufficiently.The structure of the onymic constructions is of interest from the perspectives of both historical linguistics and grammatical theory in several respects. For once, they are the last preserve of the genitive case within German dialects. Therefore, their areal variation forms an important still image of the gradual reduction of the genitive. Also, the grammaticalization of the definite article preceding personal names can be observed and analyzed by means of dialectal names.On the other hand, synchronically, the variants represent different intermediate stages between syntactic phrases and compounds, thereby revealing products of transition between syntax and derivation, e.g. 's Müllers Peter' vs. 'der Müllers Peter' vs. 'der Müller Peter'. So far, such transitions have been only described historically for written documents. With dialectal names, prosodic features of spoken language such as main stress (der ‘Müller Peter vs. s Müllers ‘Peter) can be incorporated in a comprehensive study.Constructional variation within the stems of particular dialects is also to be considered sociopragmatically, exploring social distinctions sedimenting in the use of these forms: the sociopragmatic conditioning of different constructions mirrors social relations, e.g. social proximity and distance. So far, it can be said that such distinctions especially occur when referring to female persons in distinct stages of their lives (e.g. genitive phrases referring to young women as inalienable possession). To explore this variation, direct survey methods as well as indirect ones using secondary data (such as dialect grammars) are combined in a mixed methods approach. The interviews also integrate and test formats from social sciences such as focus groups. The analyses follow a bottom-up approach, drawing generalizations from the collected data and testing theoretical assumptions in a second step. It is important that the subject is treated as soon as possible, since it can be said for many of these dialectal systems (as of other rural dialect features), that they are already reduced to the active repertoire of older speakers deeply rooted in their place of residence.
