Regarding the perception of regional speech and the salience of language variants it is to as-sume, that they are being influenced by individual features of the specific speaker/listener. However, most recent studies dealing with the salience of language phenomena neglect factors like, for example, language awareness or the profession of speakers. This article focuses on the correlation between speech perception, speech production and individual characteristics of speakers like the metalinguistic knowledge they have. It presents selected results of a study dealing with the perception and production of regional speech in Bremen and Hamburg and discusses different types of speaker/listener profiles.
While the theoretical concept of perceptual prominence (salience) is subject of various recent studies, there is a lack of empirical evidence concerning the individual prominence of linguistic variables and the perception of these in different regions.
This article presents some results of a study dealing with the perception and production of regional linguistic phenomena in Bremen and Hamburg. A quantitative analysis will be undertaken to investigate which linguistic variables are prominent for speakers and how language attitude and regional localization by non-linguists influence the salience of these phenomena. Also, the correlation between production and perception of linguistic phenomena is discussed by including objective speech data within the context of a qualitative survey. Assuming that the salience of linguistic variables is not fixed, but determined by a variety of factors, it is of interest which different combinations of influencing parameters for perceptual prominence exist.
Der vorliegende Band versammelt Beiträge des 8. Kolloquiums Forum Sprachvariation der Internationalen Gesellschaft für Dialektologie (IGDD) und des 6. Nachwuchskolloquiums des Vereins für niederdeutsche Sprachforschung (VndS), das vom 04. bis 06. Oktober 2017 an der Universität Hamburg stattfand.
Vorgestellt wurden sowohl diachron als auch synchron ausgerichtete Arbeiten und Forschungsprojekte, die sich im Themenfeld der Dialektologie und Regionalsprachenforschung, der historischen Sprach- und Literaturwissenschaft bewegen oder sich mit neueren regionalsprachlichen Texten beschäftigen. Der vorliegende Sammelband legt den Fokus auf die linguistischen Beiträge, die sich sowohl gegenwartssprachlichen Phänomenen als auch historischen Sprachzuständen und Entwicklungen der letzten 140 Jahre widmen.
