Lay Linguists' perspective on German regional varieties: Reconstructing Lay linguistic conceptualizations of German in a perceptual dialectology approach

本项目旨在开展外行语言感知的基础研究和外行语言知识的调查。一个主要的愿望是引出关于空间和“方言”的外行语言概念的数据。项目目标1。心理地图的宏观层次的制图文件2。心理地图的微观层次制图文件。Lay-linguistic concepts4。对德国方言的态度。单个特性和特性包的突出性。为了实现这些目标，该项目使用了基于语音样本的外行语言评估的定量和定性分析。结果将与控制措施相一致，即举报人的地理知识和空间感知。通过比较民族志和认知外行语言数据与专家知识，可以推断出被调查者的态度和语言行为。因此，该项目不仅旨在填补重要的研究空白，而且还结合了经验社会研究、感知辩证法、社会语言学、社会和感知地理学以及认知科学的理论和方法方法。

The project aims at conducting basic research concerning lay-linguistic speech perceptions and the investigation of lay-linguistic knowledge. One major desideratum is the elicitation of data on lay-linguistic conceptions of space and "dialect".Goals of the project1. Macro-level cartographic documentation of mental maps2. Micro-level cartographic documentation of mental maps3. Lay-linguistic concepts4. Attitudes towards German dialects5. Salience of single features and feature bundles6. Lay-linguistic knowledge vs. expert knowledgeIn order to meet these goals, the project uses quantitative and qualitative analyses based on lay-linguistic assessments of speech samples. The results are to be aligned with control measures, i.e. the geographical knowledge and the spatial perception of the informants. By comparing ethnographic and cognitive lay-linguistic data with expert knowledge, it is possible to conclude the informants' attitudes and language behavior. The project thus not only aims to fill important research gaps, but also combines theoretical and methodological approaches of empirical social research, perceptual dialectology, sociolinguistics, social and perceptual geography and cognitive sciences.
