In this paper, we analyze written sentences containing the German particlesobwohl(“although”) andweil(“because”). In standard written German, these particles embed clauses in verb-last constituent order, which is characteristic of subordinated clauses. In spoken and – as we show – nonstandard written German, they embed clauses in verb-second constituent order, which is characteristic of independent sentences. Our usage-based approach to the syntax – graphemics interface includes a large-scale corpus analysis of the patterns of punctuation in the nonstandard variants that provides clues to the syntactic structure and degree of sentential independence of the nonstandard variants. Our corpus study confirms and refines hypotheses from existing theoretical approaches by clearly showing that writers markobwohlclauses with verb-second order systematically as independent sentences, whereasweilclauses with verb-second order are much less strongly marked as independent. This work suggests that similar corpus studies could provide deeper insight into the interplay between syntax and graphemics.

Dieser Beitrag untersucht die unterschiedlichen Verwendungen der sprachlichen Einheit das heißt im gesprochenen Deutsch aus der Perspektive der Interaktionalen Konstruktionsgrammatik. Die Untersuchung verwendet empirische Daten aus dem Forschungs- und Lehrkorpus (FOLK) des Instituts für Deutsche Sprache (IDS). Der Fokus liegt auf der Dokumentation und Klassifizierung aller konnektiven, pragmatischen und diskursiven funktionalen Verwendungen von das heißt, die in den Daten zu finden sind. Der Ansatz der Interaktionalen Konstruktionsgrammatik ermöglicht es, die Verwendung von das heißt auf einer Vielzahl von linguistischen Ebenen (z. B. Syntax, Semantik und Pragmatik) zu analysieren. Darüber hinaus erlaubt der Ansatz die Erfassung der sequentiellen Einbettung von das heißt, die für eine adäquate Beschreibung der Funktion in fortlaufender Konversation entscheidend sein kann. Abschließend wird erforscht, ob sich die unterschiedlichen Verwendungen von das heißt auf eine abstrakte Konstruktion reduzieren lassen und ob der gegenwärtige Gebrauch Hinweise für mögliche Wandeltendenzen liefert.
