Description:

The German Seminar (department of linguistics) at Leibniz Universität
Hannover, Germany, is looking to appoint a doctoral researcher (E13 TV-L, 65%)
as part of the DFG funded project ‘The urban vernacular of Hanover’ ("Die
Stadtsprache Hannovers"), starting 1st January 2020 (36 month). 

A native-like competence in German is required; a link to Hanover and/or the
region is desirable.

Project description:
A popular myth states that the German variety spoken in Hanover (Low Saxony)
presents the “purest” Standard German. While this myth has been in existence
for about 200 years, synchronic empirical linguistic evidence for a variety
close to German Standard in Hanover is missing. This project analyses the
varieties spoken in Hanover from the perspective of urban sociolinguistics. It
examines the language of local speakers with regard to Standard and
non-Standard elements in a range of experimental settings. In parallel, it
collects metalinguistic data such as familiarity and attitudes concerning
these varieties and concerning specific regional or local features. The
project thus analyses for the first time the myth of the purest German from
the point of view of variationist sociolinguistics, combining newly collected
linguistic data with language attitudes and evaluations and further
metalinguistic assessments. Finally, the project gives an exhaustive answer to
the question whether the myth is pure fiction or linguistically grounded
reality.
