We present a new corpus design for multi-lingual corpora that involve intra-speaker variation in different situational-functional contexts, including primarily spoken but also the written mode, with the aim towards enhancing language documentation efforts and resources. We illustrate how this comparative design and the resulting cross-culturally…

Barcroft, Joe; Rott, Susanne – Applied Linguistics, 2010
Previous research on second language (L2) vocabulary learning has examined the relationship between word properties and learnability (e.g. Ellis and Beaton 1993). Few studies, however, have examined patterns in partial word form learning as a method of assessing learnability and improving our understanding of allocation of processing resources…

Drawing on a corpus of spoken and written German obtained from the "Institut fuer Grunddeutsch," it is shown that the dative ending -e which occurs in strong masculine and neuter nouns is disappearing, especially in spoken German. (IFS/WGA)

Peer reviewedBelz, Julie A. – Language Teaching Research, 2002
Argues that multiple language use in learner output is not always and exclusively indicative of the deficient nature of the language learner with respect to an idealized monolingual second language linguistic norm. Multilingual written learner texts and learners' explications of these texts are examined in detail. (Author/VWL)

Formal and Informal Experiential Realms in German as a Foreign Language: A Preliminary Investigation
Moyer, Alene – Foreign Language Annals, 2005
In this study of German as a foreign language, formal classroom experience is compared with informal use of German outside the classroom focusing on three syntactic features: main clause word order (subject-verb-object, or SVO), topicalization (subject-verb inversion), and subordinate word order (subject-object-verb, or SOV). T tests and…

Pfeffer, J. Alan – 1970
As a link between the words in everyday use and the sophisticated language of the arts and sciences, the 1,536 words of the "Mittelstufe" or Level 2 derive in nearly equal proportion from three sources: (1) the spoken or topical language, (2) a collation of all significant word lists compiled prior to February 1965, and (3) a statistical analysis…

Peer reviewedThomaneck, Jurgen K. A. – International Review of Applied Linguistics in Language Teaching, 1980
Describes a study that tests whether the sociolinguistic differences observed in essays in German are a carry-over from the native Scottish English. A previous study is described which tested the hypothesis that social class influences linguistic behavior and could be a cause for errors in a foreign language. (AMH)
