Abstract:

This book provides a quantifiable measure and analysis of absolute complexity
in the nominal inflection of 17 Alemannic dialects, of standard German as well
as of Middle and Old High German. The data is based on grammatical
descriptions. What can be interpreted as being more or less complex in a
language system is deduced from LFG (Lexical-Functional Grammar) and from an
inferential-realisational morphological framework. The tool to measure
inflectional complexity is also developed from these frameworks. Variation in
the inflectional complexity is analysed based on the following factors:
diachrony, isolation, language contact, standardisation, and dialect groups.

Diese Arbeit quantifiziert und analysiert die absolute Komplexität in der
Nominalflexion von 17 alemannischen Dialekten, der deutschen Standardsprache
sowie des Mittel- und Althochdeutschen. Als Datengrundlage dienen
Ortsgrammatiken. Die theoretische Grundlage bilden LFG (Lexical-Functional
Grammar) und die inferentielle-realisierende Morphologie, wovon abgeleitet
wird, was ein System komplexer bzw. simpler macht. Auf diesen Modellen basiert
auch die eigens entwickelte Methode zur Messung der morphologischen
Komplexität. Die Variation in der Komplexität der Nominalflexion wird anhand
der folgenden Faktoren analysiert: Diachronie, Isolation, Kontakt,
Standardisierung und Dialektgruppen.
