Sprachstrukturelle Annotation der LangGener-Korpora :Typologie und Abgrenzungsprobleme

subject

description

The paper presents the theoretical background as well as the practical implementation of the analysis of language contact phenomena in the LangGener corpus. Our analysis is based on the distinction between borrowing of concrete phonological material and the replication of abstract linguistic patterns. These two types of language-contact-related deviations from the baseline of comparison (homeland baseline) are complemented by further annotational categories – code-switching, word order, other deviations and self-correction. The text discusses these phenomena on the basis of the material collected in the project and addresses problems concerning the annotation, for each of which a uniform solution is proposed.
