Project description
A04 aims to develop a formal grammatical model of morphosyntactic register variation within Head-Driven Phrase Structure Grammar. The project investigates phenomena pertaining to four domains of variation in German and Brazilian Portuguese: lexicon, morphology, argument structure, and constituent structure. The initial hypothesis is that the probabilistic relations between parts of the grammar and situational parameters (identified in Phase I) are mediated by social meanings. The latter will be investigated by means of perception studies.
