Ääs isch es Liebs : weibliches Neutrum und Beziehung im Schweizerdeutschen

Baumgartner, Gerda ; Christen, Helen (Dir.)

Thèse de doctorat : Université de Fribourg, 2021.

Die vorliegende Arbeit widmet sich dem dialektalen Phänomen des weiblichen Neutrums im schweizerdeutschen Rufnamen- und Pronomengebrauch. Ausgangspunkt bildet die Beobachtung, dass nicht nur modifizierte Rufnamen auf -i wie (s) Heidi, sondern auch nicht- modifizierte Rufnamen wie (s) Anna und Pronomen unter Umständen das neutrale Genus führen (Ääs isch es Liebs).

On abduction in receptive multilingualism : evidence from cognate guessing tasks

Berthele, Raphael

In: Applied Linguistics Review, 2011, vol. 2, p. 191-220

This article focuses on the question how multilinguals use their languages in order to guess the meaning of cognates in unlearnt but genealogically close languages.

Different measures for phonological and graphematic distances across languages are established and correlated with the rates of...

Adding a temporal dimension to the analysis of argumentative discourse : justified reframing as a means of turning a single-issue discussion into a complex argumentative discussion

Greco, Sara ; Schär, Rebecca ; Pollaroli, Chiara ; Mercuri, Chiara

In: Discourse Studies, 2018, vol. 20, no. 6, p. 1-17

This paper seeks to extend existing models of argumentation by considering an important dimension of real-life argumentative discourse: how complex argumentative discussions evolve over time. We define a complex argumentative discussion as a multi-issue discussion, in which the different issues are interrelated in the form of a hierarchy. We claim that justified reframing might be used to...

Coray, Renata ; Kobelt, Emilienne ; Zwicky, Roman ; Duchêne, Alexandre ; Kübler, Daniel

Diverse legal bases and directives have been created and issued in the interest of reaching this goal. Nonetheless, questions concerning implementation and effectiveness of these measures remain open...
