Learning objectives

Upon successful completion of this module, PhD students will be able to demonstrate their ability to create linguistic maps and utilize the additional features of REDE’s Geographic Information System.

Prerequisites and basic notions

Knowledge of basic concepts in the area of morphosyntax (acquired in MA degree in linguistics or similar topic area).

Program

Regionalsprache.de (REDE) is an innovative, long-term research project based at the Forschungszentrum Deutscher Sprachatlas in Marburg, focused on exploring the contemporary regional languages of German. Funded by the Akademie der Wissenschaften und der Literatur, Mainz, REDE offers an online platform designed for linguistic geography research.
The platform, www.regionalsprache.de, gives researchers access to a wealth of resources, including digitized linguistic atlases, audio recordings, Wenkerbögen, and a database of dialectological literature. The REDE SprachGIS allows you to:
1. Access the above mentioned linguistic maps, audio files, Wenkerbögen, and bibliography,
2. Create your own customized maps by importing and visualizing spatial data,
3. Publish and export maps with ease for use in your academic work.
The REDE platform can also be used for creating maps in other languages than German, which we will cover during the course as well.
