Emergence and change of registers: The case of Lithuanian and Latvian (B02)

该项目将通过审查立陶宛语和拉脱维亚语书面传播的开始，调查登记册的出现和发展。在CRC的第一阶段，它将重点关注新文学语言的两位杰出先驱的作品，老立陶宛语的Johannes Bretke和老拉脱维亚语的Georg Mancelius，他们的作品证明了一系列可以观察到个体内部变化的体裁。这里至关重要的是与提供翻译来源的语言以及在多语言环境中使用的语言的互动。出现了以下研究问题：（一）登记册是如何出现的，以及在何种程度上，个别作者创建它们？(ii)如何评估贷款登记册的影响？(iii)如何在多语言环境中识别源语言的影响？(iv)已建立的登记册如何随时间变化？

The project will investigate the emergence and development of registers by examining the beginning of written transmission of Lithuanian and Latvian. It will focus during phase 1 of the CRC on the works of two pre-eminent pioneers of the new literary languages, Johannes Bretke for Old Lithuanian and Georg Mancelius for Old Latvian, whose works attest a range of genres where intra-individual variation can be observed. Crucial here will be the interactions with the languages that provided translation sources and with those spoken in the multi-lingual environment. The following research questions arise: (i) How do registers emerge, and to what extent to individual authors create them? (ii) How can the influence of loan registers be evaluated? (iii) How can the influence of source languages within a multi-lingual setting be identified? (iv) How do established registers change over time?
