| Description | The article raises and answers the following questions: Is it possible to obtain objective and reliable information about the language, or are we left at the mercy of self-appointed standardisers and one-sided language advisors (portals) that come up at the top of a Google search? Is it also possible to compare the target language German with one's own (source language) in order to recognise parallels and/or differences? The article also aims to demonstrate the range of possibilities open to teachers and learners of German when they specifically search for different linguistic phenomena, when they want to check and expand on information in textbooks or dictionaries, when they research whether phrases that seem familiar to them are actually used frequently or are, for example, a regional variant or a sociolect. There are relatively reliable instruments for working with linguistic usage in this way - language corpora and corpus-like instruments that collect authentic, up-to-date language data that is independent of the regulators. Using these instruments and interpreting the data they contain is not always easy. The article shows how these instruments are suitable for German lessons and how they can contribute to autonomous learning. Translated with DeepL.com (free version) |
