Vergessener Ortsname: Wo liegt Engeldingen? (August 2011)

D'Wuert vum MountVon Cristian Kollmann 3. August 2011 Kommentar hinterlassen

In Luxemburg gibt es eine Reihe von Familiennamen, die von Ortsnamen abgeleitet sind, wobei Letztere abgekommen sind.

Einige der zahlreichen Beispiele für Luxemburger Familiennamen aus verschollenen Ortsnamen sind Campill, Conzemius (← *Konzheim?), Hausemer…

Dieser dritte Teil der Diskussion der luxemburgischen Vokale widmet sich den Diphthongen. Das Luxemburgische verfügt mit seinen acht Diphthongen über ein reiches Inventar dieser Lautkategorie (nicht mitgezählt ist der Lehndiphthong [ɔɪ̯] wie in Europa, Euro).

Die Vokale des Luxemburgischen (2)

Diskussionen um BlogVon Peter Gilles 10. Juli 2011 Kommentar hinterlassen

Nachdem im ersten Teil die Grundlagen der akustischen Vokalbeschreibung vorgestellt wurden, soll nun ein Vergleich mit dem Vokalsystem des Deutschen als nahverwandte Sprache folgen. Dazu werden die Vokalsystem zweier luxemburgischer Sprecher einem System des Standarddeutschen (aus Iivonen 1993) gegenüber gestellt. Um den Vergleich zu erleichtern, ist zunächst eine Konvertierung der Hertz-Frequenzwerte in ein perzeptiv basiertes…
