Abstract:
This research deals with the topic of phonology and corrective phonology in a foreign French language. This study aims at improving the pronunciation of the German student who is learning French as a foreign language with the aim of finding the suitable ways of improving his pronunciation. In this study, we have chosen a German student who is studying French in the University Center for French Studies in Grenoble in France. We told this student to read a French text and we recorded this reading. Then we analyzed this dialogue in order to find the pronunciation mistakes and the effect of the German Language in learning French and to know the student's ability to pronounce new sounds that do not exist in the mother tongue. Finally, we proposed pronunciation corrections that were suitable to the student's case. This would help the teacher of French in Germany to manage the classroom and improve the pronunciation of his students and make them able to distinguish the sounds of both French and German languages.

Abstract:
The German uvular /R/ probably shows more surface variation than any other segment in the language. (1) illustrates that /R/ has a vocalic allophone [A], which can surface either as a glide or a vowel, a sonorant consonant allophone, which is pronounced as a uvular trill or approximant, and two obstruent allophones:In the present study I focus on the rules producing the consonantal allophones of /R/ in both Standard German and in certain dialects of the Lower Rhineland (henceforth LRG).

Abstract:
The present study analyzes percentages of target-like production of Spanish spirantization and assimilation of coda nasals place of articulation, in three groups of bilingual children simultaneously acquiring German and Spanish: two very young groups, one living in Germany and another one in Spain, and a group of 7-year-old bilinguals from Germany. There were monolingual Spanish and monolingual German control groups. The comparison between groups shows that the Spanish of bilinguals is different from that of monolinguals; and the Spanish of bilinguals in Germany is different from that of bilinguals in Spain. Results lead to the conclusion that the Spanish competence of the bilinguals from Germany is still incomplete, and influenced by transfer of the majority language (German). Only bilingual children living in Germany show influence of the majority language onto the heritage language, whereas transfer does not operate on the Spanish competence of the bilingual children from Spain.

Abstract:
ABSTRACTA yearlong study of the acquisition of German by three American secondary school students reveals influence of orthographic input on their segmental development in phonology. The three had not been exposed to German prior to the year they spent in Germany, they received little explicit instruction on German, and they were the only native English speakers in their communities. Examination of their production of word-initial <s>, which is realized as [z] in German but [s] in English, points to influence of the orthographic input they received while interacting with written text as fully matriculated students in German secondary schools. Despite considerable aural input from their standard German-speaking peers, teachers, and host family members over the 12 months of their stay in Germany, the three learners’ production of word-initial <s> was typically [s]. Finer-grained analysis using Praat shows variation in voicing, suggesting these learners were also responding to the aural input.

Abstract:
We investigate how L1 phonology and semantics affect processing of interlingual homographs by manipulating language context before, and auditory input during, a visual experiment in the L2. Three experiments contained German–English homograph primes (gift = German “poison”) in English sentences and was performed by German (L1) learners of English (L2). Both reaction times and event-related brain potentials were measured on targets reflecting the German meaning of the interlingual homograph. In Experiment 1, participants viewed a pre-experiment English film, then half of the participants (n = 16) heard noise and the other half (n = 16) heard German pseudowords during the experiment; in Experiment 2, participants (n = 16) viewed a pre-experiment German film then heard noise; and in Experiment 3, participants (n = 16) viewed the pre-experiment English film then heard real German words. Those who had viewed the English film then heard noise during Experiment 1 showed no L1 influence. Those who saw the English film but heard German pseudowords during Experiment 1, or viewed the German film before and heard noise during Experiment 2, showed L1 influence as indicated by N400 priming of L1-related targets in the first half of the experiment. This suggests that a pre-experiment film in the L1 or the presence of L1 phonology during the experiment slowed down adjustment to the L2 task. In Experiment 3 with real L1 words in the background, N400 priming of L1 meanings was observed throughout the entire experiment for lower-proficiency participants. We discuss our findings in terms of context types that affect L1-to-L2 adjustment.

Abstract:
This paper investigates the nature of the attraction of XPs to clauseinitial position in German (and other languages). It argues that there are two different types of preposing. First, an XP can move when it is attracted by an EPP-like feature of Comp. Comp can, however, also attract elements that bear the formal marker of some semantic or pragmatic (information theoretic) function. This second type of movement is driven by the attraction of a formal property of the moved element. It has often been misanalysed as “operator” movement in the past. Japanese wh-questions always exhibit focus intonation (FI). Furthermore, the domain of FI exhibits a correspondence to the wh-scope. I propose that this phonology-semantics correspondence is a result of the cyclic computation of FI, which is explained under the notion of Multiple Spell-Out in the recent Minimalist framework. The proposed analysis makes two predictions: (1) embedding of an FI into another is possible; (2) (overt) movement of a wh-phrase to a phase edge position causes a mismatch between FI and wh-scope. Both predictions are tested experimentally, and shown to be borne out.

Abstract:
Die Dissertation untersucht die Entwicklung der prosodischen Struktur von Simplizia und Komposita im Deutschen. Ausgewertet werden langzeitlich erhobene Produktionsdaten von vier monolingualen Kindern im Alter von 12 bis 26 Monaten. Es werden vier Entwicklungsstufen angenommen, in denen jedoch keine einheitlichen Outputs produziert werden. Die Asymmetrien zwischen den verschiedenen Wörtern werden systematisch auf die Struktur des Zielwortes zurückgeführt. In einer optimalitätstheoretischen Analyse wird gezeigt, dass sich die Entwicklungsstufen aus der Umordnung von Constraints ergeben und dass dasselbe Ranking die Variation zwischen den Worttypen zu einer bestimmten Entwicklungsstufe vorhersagt.
The thesis investigates the development of the word-prosodic structure in child German. The database consists of longitudinal production data of four monolingal children aged between 12 and 26 months. It is argued in the thesis that the children pass through four developmental stages which are characterized by non-uniform outputs. The asymmetries in the output pattern are attributed to the proosdic shape of the target word. The thesis provides an optimality-theoretic analysis showing that a single ranking of constraints accounts for the variation in the output at a given stage.

Full text
Abstract:
The aim of this thesis is to investigate second language phonology through the question of phonological relatedness. Specifically, the study will examine whether phonological proximity between the mother tongue (Ll) and language to be acquired (L2) results in a more target-like pronunciation, or whether phonological similarity is detrimental to the acquisition process. Previous studies in L2 phonology have explored only the effect on acquisition when certain individual sounds are phonologically similar between the Ll and L2, and have concluded, in concordance with the Speech Learning Model (SLM) and Feature Assembly Model (FAH), that similarity is detrimental to the acquisition process. Ll transfer theory, however, hypothesises that similarities between whole language systems (that is, not only individual elements of those languages) will be a positive factor in second language acquisition (SLA). No previous SLA study has examined the consequences for acquisition when the Ll and L2 themselves, not only the certain individual sounds, are phonologically related (that is, the sound patterns of the Ll/L2 are related). The study described in this thesis aims to fill this gap in an investigation of the acquisition of L2 Zurich German consonants by Ll German speakers (phonologically close languages) and by Ll English speakers (phonologically distinct languages). Against a theoretical background of Ll transfer, two constraints on transfer are investigated empirically, namely language distance and markedness. L2 sounds are examined which are classified as similar/dissimilar, and marked/less marked for each Ll/L2 pair. An experimental approach is adopted, through the elicitation and recording of L2 speech, and the subsequent acoustic analysis of the phonemes. The thesis will argue that while an analysis of the individual sound level is certainly important in L2 phonological acquisition studies, it is the culmination of this level of analysis which makes an important contribution to the role of the Ll system in L2 phonological acquisition, and that this role cannot be abstracted from any such discussion. That is, the phonological proximity ofthe Ll and L2 sound systems is a significant part of successful acquisition, regardless of the similar/marked status of individual sounds.

Abstract:
O presente trabalho tem por objetivo a análise dos processos fonológicos em fronteiras de palavras que ocorrem na língua alemã cantada. Como corpus, recolhemos gravações de uma ária para voz feminina da ópera Der Freischütz, de Carl Maria Von Weber, interpretada por cantoras alemãs seguindo determinados critérios, e também gravações do texto da ária apenas lido por mulheres cuja língua mãe é o alemão a fim de comparar com o que ocorre na língua falada. Como embasamento teórico, recorremos a estudos de Fonética e Fonologia, Morfologia, interferência lingüística e Dicção. Para realização das análises, mapeamos a partitura da ária escolhida selecionando as fronteiras de palavras que mais geravam dúvidas e elaboramos algumas tabelas para organizar e sintetizar as informações recolhidas. Primeiramente, realizamos a análise das gravações cantadas e, em seguida, das gravações faladas. Essas últimas necessitaram de auxílio de instrumentos (programa de análise acústica) para que pudéssemos confirmar as análises realizadas de forma subjetiva. Como resultado, pudemos concluir que é próprio da língua alemã falada a junção de consoantes iguais e do mesmo grupo articulatório, ao passo que na voz cantada, alguns elementos musicais, como andamento e fraseado interferem nesses processos, algumas vezes bloqueando-os.
This work aims to analyze the phonological processes in word boundaries that happen in the sung German language. As corpus, we gathered recordings of an aria to feminine voices from Der Freischütz opera, by Carl Maria von Weber interpreted by German feminine singers, following certain criteria and also recordings of the aria text, only read by women whose mother tongue is German, in order to compare to what happens in spoken language. As theoretical basis we turned to studies on Phonetics and Phonology, linguistic interference and Diction. In order to fulfill the analyses, we mapped the chosen aria score, selecting the word boundaries that generated more doubts and we elaborated some tables to organize and summarize the collected data. First, we analyzed the sung recordings and then the spoken recordings. The latter needed the help of instruments (acoustic analysis software), so that we could confirm the analyses achieved in a subjective form. As a result, we were able to conclude that it is typical of the spoken German language to join identical consonants from the same articulatory group, while in the sung voice some musical elements, as timing and phrasing, intervene in these processes, sometimes blocking them.

Abstract:
Estonian belongs to the southern branch of the Finnic languages. Standard Estonian, now the sole official state language of Estonia, was developed mainly on the basis of North Estonian dialects. Estonian has been in contact with many languages and has especially been influenced by German. It has several features that are spread in the Circum-Baltic area. Estonian phonetics and phonology are characterized by three quantity degrees, palatalization, and lack of vowel harmony. The morphology combines agglutinative features with fusional. Existential, possessive, experiential, and resultative sentences display non-canonical subjects. Differential subject and object marking are conditioned by various semantic and syntactic features of the sentence. In addition to inherited and borrowed stems, Estonian language planning has created many completely new word stems.

In each section there is a summary of the main points, followed by detailed advanced paragraphs. The summaries serve as a stand-alone introductory grammar designed to help readers gain a reading knowledge of MHG as quickly as possible, which they can try out on the two introductory texts in Chapter 5. The detailed paragraphs can be used for reference or to gain an overview of particular areas of the language, and include extensive cross references to and from the texts in Chapter 5. The chapter concludes with an overview of the MHG dictionaries that are available on the Internet, in print, and on CD-ROM.

Abstract:
/The properties of the English can’t seem construction call for a syntactic resolution of the syntax-semantics mismatch it exhibits. This chapter shows the can’t seem order must be derived from a [seem to [ . . . not can VP ] ] structure. Insights into the derivation come from verb clusters in Germanic OV languages, with complex verb formation and clustering verbs like can and seem playing a central role. Together with infinitival to, dative to, and downward entailing elements, these are instrumental in creating remnant constituents, triggering pied-piping and smuggling a remnant constituent up into the structure, until each element can reach its final landing site. Restrictions fall out from the particular sequence of merge which must hold for convergence, and from the role each element must play. The English derivation in turn sheds light on a potential syntactic resolution of a syntax-phonology mismatch with “displaced” zu in German verbal clusters.

I discuss at length the position of laryngeal realism as it plays out in analyses of phonation types in different Germanic languages. I then turn to a number of specific issues in typologies of phonation types and phonation on vowels. Finally, I review correlations between tone and phonation.
