Doctoral Project

Valenzstrukturen im russisch-deutschen Sprachkontakt — abgeschlossen

Valency Structures in the Russian-German Language Contact  completed


Nowadays, a lot of Russian speaking emigrants live in Germany. As the daily Russian-German language contact influences the Russian language very strongly, the data of the Russian language deliver a lot of information about the language phenomena that are caused by the language contact. Valency structures of the Russian verbs are the main focus of the dissertation project. Research on valency structures of the Russian verbs is still a desideratum. The research is based on the pilot study that I conducted in the framework of my Master‘s thesis. Fourteen interviews form the basis of the pilot study. The results of the pilot study show that the Russian language of the Russian speaking emigrants in Germany contain not only syntactic but also semantic valency discrepancies. However, it is not clear how the change of valency runs exactly. Therefore the valency of Russian in Germany will be researched in depth. It is also important to research the language of the emigrants of the second generation, meaning Russian speaking persons who were born in Germany. Methods such as Interviews and questionnaires will be used in the research. A corpus and a classification of Russian verbs are elaborated for the research. The classification allows for the categorisation of all verbs according to their valency structures.
