In VariPrag (variprag.net), we study how region as a social factor affects pragmatic variation. Maybe we should consider merch as I found at #DGfS2025?

Need reasons for staying to the very end at #DGfS2025? Tanja Ackermann and I will present our latest research on inter-speaker variation in the use of expressivity in German complaints on Friday at 13:45 in AG05 (Ex:VaC)

In Ratgebern und „Gebrauchsanweisungen“ für andere Länder finden sich oft Hinweise zum Kommunikationsverhalten. Was liest man z.B. über den DACH-Raum (Deutschland, Österreich, Schweiz)? Und was hat man selbst für Eindrücke? Hier der Link auf eine Umfrage: uzh.ch/zi/cl/survey...

#ICLaVE12 was so much fun and it was a pleasure to present first results on pragmatic variation of address behavior and request realization in German together with Janel Zoske, Tanja Ackermann and Horst Simon

First time that a talk of mine is advertised on a video screen 🤭 So excited and already looking forward to Wednesday when I’ll present at Deutscher Sprachatlas and the German Linguistics institute at the University of Marburg
