Syllable Structure Spatially Distributed: Patterns of Monosyllables in German Dialects

“…As they occur mainly in weak forms, such as pronouns or prepositions, further studies could investigate whether these forms have a specific function in higher level prosodic categories, such as intonational or phonological phrases. In any case, the V-only syllables contribute to the fact that the southwestern region seems to be a region of phonotactic particularities, as has also been demonstrated in other studies (see among others Nübling & Schrambke 2004, Caro Reina 2019.…”

“…13 (10) a. [ Almost none of these syllables come with a glottal stop, and those that do follow no specific regional pattern, which, to some extent, seems to contradict the results of Alber (2001) and Caro Reina (2019), who demonstrate regional preferences for word initial glottal stop insertion, for example. However, as mentioned above, Caro Reina (2019:327f.)…”

“…This article addresses regional differences between syllable structures of different German dialects. While syllable structure of Standard German has been subject of extensive research (see Menzerath 1954, Seiler 1962, Wiese 1988, Ortmann 1991, Hall 1992, Kohler 1995, Wiese 2000, Best 2013, Levickij 2014 among many others), very few studies are dedicated to-usually very specific aspects of-regional phonotactics (for example, Karch 1981, Liberman 1997, Spiekermann 2000, Kraehenmann 2003, Hall 2009, Seiler & Würth 2014, Kleber 2017, Klingler, Moosmüller & Scheutz 2017, Caro Reina 2019. A comparative examination of the phonotactic particularities of individual dialect areas is sadly lacking.…”

“…Two lines of research dominate the descriptive approach to spontaneous nasalisation: one is synchronic while the other is couched in diachrony. Studies adopting a synchronic stance are fundamentally concerned with (1) documenting spontaneous nasalisation in the synchronic phonologies of individual languages or language families (e.g., Boivin, 1996;Grierson, 1922); (2) constructing a typology of the phenomenon (e.g., Blevins & Garrett, 1992;Reina, 2019); and (3) accounting for the phonological facts within a theory-informed framework (e.g., Botma, 2004). In a similar vein, studies that examine the diachrony of spontaneous nasalisation typically approach spontaneous nasalisation from the perspective of language change.…”
