• Applicant: Privatdozentin Dr. Eleonore Brandner
• Subject Area: General and Comparative Linguistics, Experimental Linguistics, Typology, Non-European Languages
• Term: from 2011 to 2016
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 198350616

The project aims to model syntactic microvariation both under an areal and diachronc perspective. Data are gained throughout the alemannic speaking area to get a broad database which allows detailed analysis of phenomena and development of a theory about microvariation and syntactic language change.The results will be open to the public via a web based tool, delivering maps and numerical results.
