“…judgement clusters of status versus solidarity traits" (Giles & Coupland, 1991, p. 35), in which "the former values [are] typically associated with standard(ized) varieties, the latter with non-standard varieties" (Giles, Hewstone, Ryan, & Johnson, 1987). Dynamism evaluations are increasingly associated with so-called "neo-standards" (Auer, 2017), prescriptively rejected, but vital modern varieties such as Flemish Tussentaal or Danish Low Copenhagen speech, which have even been claimed to be vital on account of their evaluation as modern, cool, hip, and assertive (Grondelaers & Kristiansen, 2013;Kristiansen, 2009). Sociolinguists who carry out speaker evaluation experiments to investigate standard language dynamics had better include dynamism measures to lay bare the perceptual correlates (if not "boosters") of these emergent standard varieties.…”

This article investigates three neglected determinants of native speakers' attitudes toward regional accent variation in Netherlandic Standard Dutch, namely, accent strength, speaker gender, and the evaluation dimension dynamism. Nineteen participants first rated 126 speech clips representing three regional accents (Randstad, Groningen, Limburg) in terms of the expected regional origin of the speakers and their accent strength. In a subsequent speaker evaluation study, 148 participants rated the 16 clips that emanated from Study 1 as the mildest and broadest accented male and female Randstad and Limburg speech. Crucially, accent strength variation reduced the alleged status asymmetry between the high-prestige Randstad and the low-prestige Limburg accent, since mild versions of the Limburg accent were significantly upgraded on superiority and dynamism. And broadly accented Randstad females were downgraded on superiority but not on dynamism. All in all, our findings necessitate a thorough revision of current thinking about accent-triggered impression formation in Dutch.

Auer (2017: 369) schlägt vor, den Neustandard unmittelbar unterhalb des Altstandards zu verorten (Abbildung 2), da dieser zwar als überregional, jedoch als weniger prestigeträchtig als der Altstandard gilt und eine größere Variation als der Altstandard zulässt.…”

This contribution focuses on relative constructions in German and Italian. After sketching the theoretical background, the relativization strategies attested in standard and non-standard varieties of both languages will be presented and analysed from a typological perspective. Then, an attempt will be made to understand why some of these constructions were excluded from the standard variety when both languages were codified; this can only be done by adopting a sociolinguistic perspective. Finally, the rise of a new standard variety, the so-called neo-standard, will be discussed and the relative constructions attested in it will be examined.

“…Sono versioni regionali della lingua comune prodotte da parlanti che hanno perlopiù come L1 un dialetto primario: italiani regionali popolari, dunque, che sono il punto d'avvio per una »riorganizzazione del dominio dell'immediatezza« (Koch 2014: 84). Tali varietà, che coincidono con ciò che Auer (2005Auer ( , 2011 chiama regiolects o più recentemente regional sub-standards (Auer 2017), sono il frutto di un'azione agentiva guidata dalla lingua fonte: »the agent speaker performs a push transfer that affects a language other than his own, linguistically dominant language« (Van Coetsem 2000: 54; corsivo nell'originale).…”

This paper deals with the concepts of focusing and diffusion and how they interact in the history of a language; whereas the former implies regularity and stability in the use of the code, the latter refers to a situation of great variability . Some defining moments in the history of the Italian language (the Late Middle Ages, the Renaissance and the Unifica- tion of Italy) are here analyzed and discussed in terms of the focusing / diffusion distinction . Moreover, the sociolinguistic situation of contemporary Italian is depicted by fitting these concepts into a Coserian framework, involving such notions as habla (speech), norma (norm) and sistema (system).
