    Die Studie "Beziehung überschreibt Geschlecht. Zum Genderindex von Ruf- und Kosenamen" betrifft zum Teil den Beziehungstyp der Liebesbeziehung. Sie fragt danach, ob und wie die Geschlechtszugehörigkeit in Kosenamen - Namen, die eine Beziehung kodieren und Nähe signalisieren - markiert wird. Mit einem Genderindex, der auf Basis der statistisch relevanten phonologischen Unterschiede zwischen den 100 häufigsten Frauen- und Männerrufnamen der deutschen Bevölkerung gebildet wurde, reanalysiert sie eine vorhandene Erhebung von Kosenamen und kommt zu dem Ergebnis, dass Kosenamen auf der Basis von Rufnamen deutlich weniger geschlechtsmarkiert sind als die zugrunde liegenden Rufnamen. Dies interpretiert sie vorrangig als Zeichen einer besonders persönlichen, individualisierenden und dabei auch genderabstraktiven Wahrnehmung der benannten Person.

  2. Und sie leben doch : zur Reorganisation starker Verben in germanischen Sprachen

    Viele gegenwartssprachliche Grammatiken sprechen nicht mehr von starken Verben, sondern von unregelmäßigen. Diese Verben werden denn auch nicht mehr in Ablautreihen ("AR") oder, genauer, in Alternanzmuster eingeordnet, sondern alphabetisch aufgelistet. Types und Tokens kommen damit in Deckung, jedes Verb scheint ein eigener Type zu sein. Zumindest interessiert es nicht mehr, ob es hier übergreifende Muster gibt. Das hat gravierende Folgen: Die starken Verben werden als letzte erratische Brocken eines einstigen Gebirges begriffen, die ungeordnet in der Landschaft herumliegen und noch nicht von der Welle der (regelmäßigen) schwachen Verben erfasst wurden, dem aber entgegenblicken. Klassenstatus erlangen nur die schwachen Verben, allenfalls noch die Modalverben.

  3. The phonetic gender score of German first names and pet names : gendered first names versus de-gendered pet names

    In German, female and male first names are strictly segregated: there are two big inventories with the only purpose to separate women and men. Unisex names are extremely seldom. If they are chosen, they have to be followed by a sex-specific middle name (e.g. Kim Uwe, Kim Annette). If we look at the phonological components of first names, i.e. at their sounds, we can state that male and female names became more similar over the last decades. Whereas in the 1950's, typical first names such as Katharina and Rolf diverged considering their phonic inventory considerably, today, many girls are named Leah and Lara and many boys Noah and Luca. These names share nearly the same sounds, they consist of two syllables and are stressed on the first one. If we look behind the scenes, it becomes clear that the officially required onomastic separation of the two sexes is undermined. In this paper, I will present a socalled phonetic gender score for German first names for the first time (see also Schmidt-Jüngst in this volume). It allows for measuring a degree of femaleness and maleness of names. In a second step, it will be asked whether unofficial names such as pet names, which are not obliged to mark sex also tend to be gendered or if they disobey the gender barrier. It will be shown that the most intimate names are not interested in stressing the denoted person's sex. In contrast to first names, pet names tend to be maximally de-gendered.

  4. From Christel to Christina, from Klaus to Nico : a diachronic study of German first names (1945-2010) and their shift towards the syllable language type

    German underwent a typological change from a syllable language in Old High German towards a word language today (Szczepaniak 2007). Proper names followed this development until the last century (cf. Christel, Gertrud, Klaus, Wolfgang). Some of the most popular German first names from 2010, however, such as Mia, Lea, Leon, Noah, show completely different structures compared to common nouns. In sharp contrast to common nouns, first names dispose of CV-structures, full vowels in unstressed syllables and different accent positions. Thus, there must have been a deep-rooted onomastic change. The most frequent baby names of 1945 were still in harmony with the usual word structures. This article shows that the decrease of transgenerational transmission of first names led to a departure fom native phonological structures. The following factors are analyzed: the number of syllables; accent position; and the number of consonant clusters, hiatuses, schwa and unstressed full vowels. It will be demonstrated that the phonological distance between first names (particularly female names) and common nouns has increased over time and that there is an increasing tendency for names to contain syllable language structures. Thus, a typological difference developed between these two nominal classes. The reason behind this change can be found in the individualizing function of proper names and social individualization over time.

    In anaphora resolution theory, it has been assumed that anaphora resolution is based on a reversed mapping of antecedent salience and anaphora complexity: minimal complex anaphora refer to maximal salient antecedents. In order to ex-amine whether and by which developmental steps German children gain command of this mapping maxim we conducted an experiment on production and comprehension of intersentential pronouns including the three pronoun types zero, personal, and demonstrative pronoun. With respect to antecedent salience, the experiment varied syntactic role (subject/object) and in/animacy. Six age groups of children (age range from 2;0 to 6;0) and an adult control group has been tested. The hypothesis arising from the mapping maxim is that zero pronoun correlates with more salient antecedents than personal and demonstrative pronoun, the latter correlating with the least salient antecedents. The results are: In production, children first establish the opposition of zero pronoun with animate antecedents vs. demonstrative pronoun with inanimate antecedents. In a next step, syntactic role comes into play and a more complex system opposing the three presented pronoun types is established. In comprehension, however, the effect of pronoun type re-mains weak and antecedent features remain a strong factor in reference choice. However, also adults employ pronoun type and antecedent features. The oldest children and the adults show variation in personal pronoun resolution according to the animacy pattern of the potential antecedents. In case of identical animacy features, the subject is the preferred candidate; in case of distinct animacy features, there is a tendency to choose the object antecedent.
