Dialect-standard variability in early childhood: A longitudinal corpus study of phonological development
PI(s): Prof. Dr. Martin Pfeiffer
The project explores the limits of phonological dialect-standard variability in young children who acquire two varieties of German, a High Alemannic dialect and standard German. Drawing on a longitudinal audiovisual corpus of spontaneous family interaction involving three children regularly recorded within the age span of approx. 1;6 to 4;0, we aim to uncover the language-internal and language-external factors that constrain this variability and the way it develops over time. To this end, we combine methods of interactional linguistics and corpus linguistics.
