Personenreferenz im Dialekt: Grammatik und Pragmatik inoffizieller Personennamen in Dialekten des Deutschen

Systems for referring to persons are more complex in most German dialects than in standard German. Using a mixed methods approach of direct and indirect methods, this study examines structural and pragmatic variation in dialectal reference to persons. In addition to language maps, individual dialect studies in particular offer revealing insights into the interplay between grammar and pragmatics.
