In this project we suggest to investigate systematically and for the first time the early 20th century dialects of one part of the historical German language area from a social dialectological perspective, using dialectometrical methods. The empirical basis will be a set of approximately 2500 dialect questionnaires, recently rediscovered at Freiburg university. The questionnaires result from a survey conducted under the direction of Friedrich Maurer in 1941 in the entire ‘Gau Baden-Elsass’. We intend to digitize the full set of data and use the data for research in the following three areas: (1) From a dialectological point of view, the material offers rich possibilities of investigating the spatial structuring of the dialects at the time, for instance the impact of the Rhine border and the (still poorly understood) structure of the Alemannic-Franconian transition area. The material is suited for both the analysis of individual dialect phenomena and for aggregated data analyses; by comparing it with older and more recent data it allows the precise reconstruction of dialect change in the last century. (2) The survey included social parameters of the respondents (such as, in addition to age and occupation, their mobility) and the survey sites (e.g., the proportion of farmers and workers). The aggregated data therefore make it possible to test socio-dialectological hypotheses on the geographical distribution of linguistic innovations and thus on language change, which cannot be tested with other historical dialectological data sets. (3) In addition, the questionnaires offer, for the first time, the possibility of studying the reliability for the indirect survey method by comparison with the data of the Deutscher Wortatlas, which was conducted at the same time and in the same sites using the identical survey method (appr. one third of the lexical queries overlap). The project can therefore make an important methodological contribution to an empirically oriented diachronic dialectology. The survey’s metadata also allow testing the impact of the precise way in which the school teachers provided the questionnaire responses (response by the teacher himself, response by the pupils, response by older villagers). The digitized materials will be freely available to other researchers. In the long term, the data will become part of an information system in which they will be linked to other data sets from south-west Germany and Alsace.

在这个项目中，我们建议从社会方言学的角度，使用方言计量学的方法，首次系统地调查世纪早期历史德语区的一部分方言。经验基础将是一套约2500方言问卷，最近重新发现在弗赖堡大学。这些问卷是1941年在Friedrich Maurer的指导下在整个'Gau Baden-Elsass'进行的调查的结果。我们打算收集这套完整的数据，并将这些数据用于以下三个方面的研究：（1）从方言学的角度来看，这些材料提供了研究当时方言的空间结构的丰富可能性，例如莱茵河边界的影响和阿勒曼尼-法兰克过渡地区的结构（仍然知之甚少）。该材料既适合于个别方言现象的分析，也适合于汇总数据分析;通过将其与较旧和较新的数据进行比较，可以精确重建上世纪的方言变化。(2)调查包括答卷人的社会参数（例如，除了年龄和职业外，他们的流动性）和调查地点（例如，农民和工人的比例）。因此，汇总数据可以检验关于语言创新的地理分布以及语言变化的社会方言学假设，而这些假设无法用其他历史方言学数据集进行检验。(3)此外，问卷调查提供了，第一次，通过与德国Wortatlas的数据进行比较，这是在同一时间，在同一地点，使用相同的调查方法（apr.词汇查询的三分之一重叠）。因此，该项目可以作出重要的方法论贡献，以经验为导向的历时方言学。该调查的元数据还可以测试学校教师提供问卷答复的确切方式的影响（教师本人的答复、学生的答复、年长村民的答复）。其他研究人员可以免费获得数字化的材料。从长远来看，这些数据将成为一个信息系统的一部分，在该系统中，这些数据将与来自德国西南部和阿尔萨斯的其他数据集连接起来。
