Historische Stratifizierung des Mande-Gurunsi-Sprachkontakts; Untersuchung soziolinguistischer Muster und normativer Kräfte in den sozialen Netzwerken von Pana und Samo

[...]德国的贡献将包括对布基纳法索西北部一个有限地理区域和马里邻近地区内可能长期存在的语言接触情况进行细致研究。这个地区有几种不相关的语言，它们密切接触地共存。构成该提案核心的两个语言社区，Pana（Gur家族）和Samo（东曼德家族），有着悠久的文化和经济交流历史，在语言层面也留下了痕迹。对这种接触情况所涉及的过程的理解是双重的：在历史语言学的层面上，小组将在两个语言社区内寻找每种语言变体的显著特征。将这些与各自语言群体的遗传特征进行比较，将导致建立每个变体的区域条件，非遗传特征。在人类学语言学的层面上，该小组将研究这些地域特征是如何在不同的社会学背景下传播的。因此，他们决定采用米尔罗伊的社交网络模型，以最终找出语言创新是否以及如何与不同的社会类型。

[...] The German contribution will consist in a fine-grained study of a presumably longstanding language contact situation within a restricted geographical area in the northwest of Burkina Faso and adjacent areas in Mali. This region harbours several non-related languages which co-exist in close contact. The two language communities forming the core of the proposal, Pana (Gur family) and Samo (East Mande family), share a long-lasting history of cultural and economic exchange that has left behind traces on the language level, too. The apprehension of the processes involved in this contact situation is twofold: on the historical linguistic level the group will look for salient features of each language variety within the two language communities. Comparing these with the genetic features of the respective language group will lead to establishing the areally conditioned, non-genetic characteristics of each variety. On the anthropological linguistic level the group shall investigate how these areal features have spread in different sociological contexts. They have, therefore, decided to adopt the Milroy model of social networks to eventually find out whether and how linguistic innovation can be related to different social types.
