Morphemische aspekte der umgangssprache im raum freiburg, tuebingen und stuttgart: allomorphische variation im sandhi. (German text)
Abstract
The purpose of this dissertation is to describe the allomorphic variation of morphemes in syntactic constructions in the speech of eighteen speakers six from each of the cities of Freiburg, Tubingen and Stuttgart. Chapter 1 defines 'Umgangssprache' first in general terms and then specifically as it applies to the language spoken in the three cities based on the recordings of the Pfeffer Corpus. Chapter 2 gives information about the recordings and the speakers used in this study. Chapter 3 outlines the phones which occur in the corpus. Chapter 4 outlines colloquial characteristics common to a majority of the speakers in the corpus. Chapter 5 outlines and describes the inventory of phonemes in standard German and in the colloquial language of the corpus. Chapter 6 deals with the allomorphic variation of basic morphemes. Chapter 7 describes the allomorphic variation of derivational morphemes, the "Fugenmorphem" and the suffix extension. Chapter 8 details the allomorphic variation of inflectional morphemes. Conclusion. Colloquially there is a tendency toward a much greater allomorphic variation of the various types of morphemes in the different word classes than in standard German. There is especially a wealth of free variations of which standard German has very few.
