Abstract:

Like other disciplines, the field of sociolinguistics is not a
homogenous one. It rather comes in three “loosely connected waves”
(Eckert 2012) with each wave applying specific sets of methods. How
can we use methodological triangulation and combine these methods,
both quantitative and qualitative in nature, to integrate the three
waves of sociolinguistics? This dissertation focusses on this question
through five case studies concerning the German-Namibian diaspora,
i.e., German-speaking Namibians who migrated to Germany. Their
multilingual repertoire (Standard German, Namdeutsch [Namibian
German], English, and Afrikaans) is the main research object. The
studies presented in this book use correlational analysis, participant
observation and semi-structured interviews to unveil the interplay
between extralinguistic variables (e.g., gender, mode, place of
origin), individual styles and linguistic variation in both,
face-to-face interaction and computer-mediated communication (CMC). In
doing so, the dissertation adds the notion of translocalisation to the
field of German Sprachinselforschung (research on German-language
exclaves). I argue that this notion complements existing perspectives
on local and regional dynamics and thus leads to a more holistic view
on Sprachinseln. Therefore, this dissertation shows how methodological
triangulation offers an opportunity to add new perspectives to already
established constructs.
