*Sentences and their symbiotic guests: Structural latency and online syntax*

Many turn construction units borrow their external syntactic structure 
from a structure activated beforehand, i.e. by a directly or indirectly 
preceding unit. Formulating the same issue in a time-sensitive way, i.e. 
from earlier to later utterances, we can say that all structural units 
activate syntactic patterns that remain available for use in a 
subsequent utterance for some time. This structural latencyopens up the 
possibility for next utterances to re-use these patterns without 
repeating them explicitly. This particular type of 'ellipsis' (often 
called analepsis) is the topic of this lecture.

*Standardization and diversification:
Steps toward an urban sociolinguistics of German in the **longue durée*

On the basis of examples of phonological variation in German urban 
language varieties, this lecture will attempt to make the following points:

(a) Most of sociolinguistics and social dialectology have been concerned 
with form-oriented change and its spread across geographical space and a 
society, but we have been less successful in accounting for how 
linguistic variables are indexes of social groups and macro-categories.

(b) Investigating the meaning change in sociolinguistic variables 
implies looking at linguistic variables as social indexes and analysing 
multiple meanings that can be activated in different contexts at the 
same or at subsequent historical stages. A theory that can deal with 
this simultaneity is available if we combine Silverstein's notion of 
indexical order with Eckert's notion of social style and indexical field.

(c) The examples of form-related variation discussed in this lecture 
reach out into the past, sometimes into the distant past, but continue 
to be relevant in present times. In a way, they can be considered to be 
instances of an analysis in the longue durée transformed into a 
sociolinguistic context.

*Gaze and its employment for turn taking revisited*

In film and video recordings done in the 1960-1980ies in which the 
analyst's perspective was that of an on-looker of the two interactants, 
the perspectives of the participants themselves were not directly 
documented. In addition, the resolution of the recordings in natural 
settings was not high enough to observe eye movement directly. The 
analysis therefore had to be based on inferences — mostly based on the 
analysis of head movements — which may be misleading. A new technology 
of eye tracking (mobile eye tracking glasses) has very recently been 
developed which makes it possible to observe participants' gaze 
directly. This lecture reports on first analyses with dual mobile 
eye-tracking technology in dyadic communication. Inter alia, I will 
discuss the following questions: — Where exactly do co-participants look 
when they look at the speaker? — Is it true that recipients have to look 
at speakers while speakers only have to establish eye contact when 
speaker shift is imminent? — Is gaze behaviour different in different 
verbal activities? — When exactly and for how long is eye contact 
possible and allowed without inviting inferences?

*Code-mixing and language fusion: when bilingual talk becomes monolingual*

*Discutante: Isabelle Léglise (CELIA-CNRS)*

**

The aim of this paper is to look into the conventionalization of 
bilingual speech and into its long-term grammaticization in the 
structure of a language. More specifically, I will look into examples of 
how language fusion can emerge from code-mixing.  There seems to be 
growing agreement today that even extreme results of language fusion – 
so-called mixed languages – result from discourse-based mixing through 
regularization and conventionalization. Such a development is also 
compatible with the sociolinguistic embedding of language mixing at the 
discourse level and that of radically fused lects: In both cases, 
matters of group identity seem to be of utmost importance -- they are 
not a mere matter of interference and substrate influence after language 
acquisition or shift.
