We are pleased to announce the launch of KiDKo/E, a new resource with sociolinguistic data.

KiDKo/E captures spontaneous data from the public discussion on “Kiezdeutsch”, a way of speaking that emerged in multiethnic urban areas of Germany. The corpus assembles emails and readers' comments posted in reaction to media reports on Kiezdeutsch. Postings are mostly in German, with a smaller part in English (in reaction to a report in The Economist).

By doing so, KiDKo/E provides spontaneous data on attitudes, perceptions, and ideologies relating, among others, to such domains as
- migration
- multilingualism
- standard language
- social class and 'ethnicity'

The corpus can be reached at: http://www.kiezdeutschkorpus.de/corpus3.html

It can be accessed either through ANNIS, an open-source platform that supports browser-based search and visualization of corpus data, or it can be downloaded, in a low-tech version, as an Excel file.

KiDKo/E is associated with the KiezDeutsch-Korpus (KiDKo, www.kiezdeutschkorpus.de), a corpus of spontaneous conversations in informal peer group situations in urban Germany (planned to become publicly available by the end of this year). 



Linguistic Field(s): Discourse Analysis
                     Sociolinguistics
                     Text/Corpus Linguistics

Subject Language(s): German (deu)

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Eastern Michigan University and as such can receive donations through the EMU Foundation, which is a registered 501(c) Non Profit organization. Our Federal Tax number is 38-6005986. These donations can be offset against your federal and sometimes your state tax return (U.S. tax payers only). For more information visit the IRS Web-Site, or contact your financial advisor.

Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that they will match any gift you make to a non-profit organization. Normally this entails your contacting your human resources department and sending us a form that the EMU Foundation fills in and returns to your employer. This is generally a simple administrative procedure that doubles the value of your gift to LINGUIST, without costing you an extra penny. Please take a moment to check if your company operates such a program.

Thank you very much for your support of LINGUIST!
