Die Frage, was Sprecherinnen und Sprecher von ihrer eigenen Sprache wissen und wie sie ihr gegenüber eingestellt sind, wurde von der Forschung von einigen Seiten beleuchtet. Allerdings steht bisher eine gemeinsame theoretische wie empirische Basis noch aus. Der vorliegende Sammelband gibt deshalb einen Überblick über die aktuellste Forschung auf dem Gebiet der Laienlinguistik und versammelt Beiträge mit neuen theoretischen Impulsen, innovativen methodischen Ansätzen sowie praktischer Forschung. Research from various corners has already shone light on the issue of what speakers know about their own language and their attitudes towards it. However, a joint theoretical and empirical basis is still missing. This volume provides an overview of the latest research in the field of lay linguistics and collects contributions that provide new theoretical stimuli, innovative methodological approaches and practical research.

In variational linguistics, the concept of space has always been a central issue. However, different research traditions considering space coexisted for a long time separately. Traditional dialectology focused primarily on the diatopic dimension of linguistic variation, whereas in sociolinguistic studies diastratic and diaphasic dimensions were considered. For a long time only very few linguistic investigations tried to combine both research traditions in a two-dimensional design - a desideratum which is meant to be compensated by the contributions of this volume. The articles present findings from empirical studies which take on these different concepts and examine how they relate to one another. Besides dialectological and sociolinguistic concepts also a lay perspective of linguistic space is considered, a paradigm that is often referred to as "folk dialectology". Many of the studies in this volume make use of new computational possibilities of processing and cartographically representing large corpora of linguistic data. The empirical studies incorporate findings from different linguistic communities in Europe and pursue the objective to shed light on the inter-relationship between the different concepts of space and their relevance to variational linguistics.
