Abstract:

This book comprises a systematic analysis of the nominal inflectional
systems of 37 local dialects of the East Upper German variety (i.e.,
East Franconian, North and Central Bavarian), analyzing data drawn
from the research project Bavarian Linguistic Atlas (Bayerischer
Sprachatlas). The surveyed dialects show a wide spectrum of variation
with regard to dialect-specific phonological change and subsequently
exhibit variation at the interface of phonology and morphology, making
a contrastive study of dialect morphology worthwhile. The first part
of the data analysis focuses on number and case marking strategies,
surveying the local dialects’ allomorphs from a synchronic and
diachronic perspective. The second part addresses the structure of
dialect declension classes, specifically focusing on superior
assignment principles. In a third step, noun phrases are included into
the analysis, widening the focus to the more general question of
whether the coding of plural (or case) information is necessarily
attributed to inflectional morphology, or whether plural (or case)
coding has to be located at the interface between morphology, syntax
and context. Finally, the data analysis is followed by a discussion,
covering theoretical (namely usage-based) approaches on morphological
change.
