The sixteen chapters comprising this book on the Bay Area German
Linguistic Fieldwork Project offer over twenty-five years of
research into the changing language of native speakers and
first-generation American-German speakers residing in the San
Francisco Bay Area. Since 1984 the principal project investigator,
Irmengard Rauch, together with students of Germanic linguistics at
the University of California, Berkeley, has elicited and analyzed
an array of linguistic phenomena that include politically correct
(PC) German, the German language of vulgarity and civility, and the
grammar of e-mailing and texting German as well as that of
snail-mail German. Comparison data were also gathered from Berlin
in the case of the PC German and from Bonn in the case of the
vulgarity/civility project. In recording the sounds of spoken
German in the Bay Area, the BAG fieldworkers interviewed not only
German-speaking adults but also first-generation German-speaking
children (yielding a "Kinderlect") to compare with the spoken
English of both of these groups. Still other studies focus on the
interplay among gesture, emotion, and language; canine-human
communication; the architecture of the lie; and the architecture of
the apology. Chapter one details the modus operandi of the BAG
research project. This book is useful for the study of the
sociolinguistics of German, English-German bilingualism, general
linguistics, and the methods of linguistic fieldwork.
