    This paper aims to identify and analyze geographical patterns of (morpho)syntactic variation in traditional Austrian dialects using non-aggregative dialectometric methods (factor analysis). Based on a comprehensive dialect corpus obtained by direct dialect interviews including 163 speakers from 40 locations throughout Austria, our analyses of 79 variants of 30 (morpho)syntactic variables not only show geographical patterns in Austria’s dialects, but also address the linguistic basis of the geographical structures revealed. In particular, the results show that variables at the morphology–syntax interface contribute most to geographical structuring. We argue that this finding is related to structural conditions of these variables and the historical development of the respective variants.

    Considering dialect areas as cultural areas has a long tradition in dialectology. Especially in the first half of the 20th century, researchers explored correspondences between dialect variation and other elements of everyday culture such as traditional clothing and customs. Since then, however, few studies have compared dialect variation with everyday culture, and virtually none have used quantitative methods. This study addresses this issue by employing a multivariate, dialectometric approach. It examines dialect variation in phonology and its relationship to non-linguistic aspects of everyday culture in Austria using two types of data: (a) dialect data from a recent dialect survey, and (b) ethnographic data published in the ‘Austrian Ethnographic Atlas’. Analyzing 90 phonetic-phonological and 36 ethnographic variables, statistical methods such as multidimensional scaling (MDS) and cluster analysis (CA) are employed. The results show only limited overlap between the linguistic and ethnographic data, with cultural patterns appearing more fragmented and small-scale. Geographical proximity is more indicative of cultural than linguistic similarity. MDS and CA reveal clear geographical patterns for the linguistic data that align with traditional dialect classifications. In contrast, the cultural data show less distinct clustering and only small-scale regions that do not coincide with the linguistic ones. This article discusses potential reasons for these differences.

  3. Geographical patterns in the Bavarian dialects of Austria and South Tyrol. A real-time comparison using dialectometric methods

    This paper presents a comparative real-time study of phonological variation in Bavarian dialects in Austria and South Tyrol, using a dialectometric approach. Drawing on historical data from the ‘Dictionary of Bavarian Dialects in Austria’ (Wörterbuch der bairischen Mundarten in Österreich) and contemporary data from the project ‘Variation and Change of Dialect Varieties in Austria (in Real and Apparent Time)’, supplemented by data from the project ‘German Dialects in South Tyrol’ (Deutsche Dialekte in Südtirol), we investigate geographic patterns of dialectal variation over time. The study addresses three central research questions: (1) What geolinguistic patterns emerge from historical and contemporary datasets? (2) How do these patterns align with traditional qualitative dialect classifications? (3) Can language change be identified through diachronic comparison? By analyzing a consistent set of 31 phonological variables using techniques such as multidimensional scaling and cluster analysis, we find a strong overall correspondence between historical and contemporary dialect classifications, which also align well with traditional qualitative dialect classifications. Our results highlight the persistence of major dialect divisions, particularly between (South) Central Bavarian and South Bavarian. At the same time, we identify more localized changes, such as the retreat of South Bavarian in southeastern Austria, increasing regionalization, and shifts in east-west variation patterns. In sum, the study demonstrates that real-time comparisons using dialectometric methods are feasible, despite certain methodological challenges.

    Infinitival constructions (ICs) have received considerable attention from syntacticians and typologists, but less so from variationist linguistics. Based on new data from a comprehensive dialect survey, this study investigates the variation and change of ICs in Austrian dialects. The results reveal clear geographical patterns for different IC variants in Austria. Regarding linguistic factors, several constraints are identified, most importantly with respect to the IC’s syntactical function and governing element (e.g., phase verbs). Moreover, an apparent-time analysis shows that one variant (zum + infinitive) has been grammaticalized and spread at the expense of all other variants, presumably due to both dialect leveling and dialect-standard advergence.

    Major life events (MLEs) in the educational domain such as graduating school or beginning a new degree set an important course for each individual’s life. However, the impact of such MLEs on patterns of individual-level language change across the lifespan, and how their impact may vary among individuals, is far from clear. In this article, we thus demonstrate the variation in patterns of individual-level perceived linguistic change affected by educational MLEs (i. e., graduating school, beginning a new degree, graduating university) among 181 Austrian participants with first language German. Our goal is to both quantitatively and qualitatively investigate which constellation of individual differences in event experiences and other psychosocial factors are associated with differences in reported individual-level linguistic change following educational MLEs. Bayesian modeling indicated that gender and proficiency in nonstandard varieties were particularly predictive of individual-level linguistic change. Qualitative analysis revealed a blended operation of socio-affective and language biography-related factors being associated with educational MLE-related change in the sociolinguistic repertoire.

    This exploratory study adopts a variational pragmatic perspective to investigate the functional spectrum of the particle eh in Austria and beyond. Applying a mixed methods approach, which includes both corpus analysis and an online questionnaire survey, the study aims to address the following research questions: (1) What recurring functions can be identified for the particle eh in Austria? (2) How widespread are these functions in Austria, Bavaria, and Northern Germany? For research question (1), our analysis of spoken data from the Ulrichsberg corpus confirms that the functions identified in previous research, such as marking irrelevance or limiting the relevance of a preceding statement, are also used by Austrian speakers. However, we discovered additional functions not previously documented, such as establishing coherence, indicating common ground, and evidential marking. Regarding research question (2), the questionnaire data reveal that these functions are also prevalent among Austrians outside Ulrichsberg. However, there are notable differences between participants from Austria, Bavaria, and Northern Germany. The findings suggest that eh has a broader functional spectrum in Austria, with some functions also present in Bavaria but less so in Northern Germany. Thus, this study reveals that the functions of eh are regionally distributed, with a more diverse and developed functional spectrum in Austria.
