Subject: Publication: Debate on Structural Bias in German Dialectology (LingList 33.521)


Dear colleagues,
In response to a posting from January 2022, in which a debate on
possible structural bias in German dialectology and its effects on
groups of speakers, a new publication has been offered in open access.
The context to this debate, a "Gelehrtenstreit" or
"Germanistikstreit", can be found here:
https://linguistlist.org/issues/33.521/ .

This new publication is based on archival work and highlights
connections between the past and the present via concepts, definitions
and linguist practitioners. In particular, the life of Eberhard
Kranzmayer (1897-1975) offers the key biographical and intellectual
details on a disciplinary legacy that would warrant further attention.
It is reasoned that the present-day problem lies in disciplinary
legacy, a certain traditional outlook, and in historical connections
that were carried on beyond 1945, so that, today, the concepts of what
German is and what it is not may be seen as unintentionally but
surprisingly "old" and outdated, regardless of the computer-based
methods that have found entry into the field as of late.

The paper can be accessed here:
