Abstract

Perceptual dialectology has being intensively studied over the last decades, also in the/ncase of German dialects. It describes the perception of a non-linguist regarding several/naspects of dialects (linguistic and non-linguistic, such as identity through dialect). As/npart of this field, in this paper a particular case will be analyzed. It is said that in the/nformer kingdom of Baden, in the South-West of Germany, a dialect called Badisch is/nspoken. However, Badisch is just a generic term of politic origin that describes all the/ndialects spoken in that area, which are actually three: Oberrheinalemannisch,/nBodenseealemannisch und Hochalemannisch. The main goal of this project is to find/nout whether the inhabitants of Baden actually believe that Badisch is a dialect or they/nknow it is just a term. To achieve it, a survey has been carried out by Internet. The/nparticipants were also asked about personal information like age, field of studies/work/nand languages they spoke, in order to see if these variables play a role. Moreover, they/nhad to name their specific region and the dialect spoken there. Results show that only 2/nevery 10 of the responders know about Badisch being just a word, while a third thinks/nBadisch is actually a dialect or language. Very few people can say the scientific name of/ntheir area’s dialect, whereas they speak about the feeling of belonging it involves and/nare worried about its future. It is outstanding that people’s perception, in most cases,/ndoes not match the scientific one.
