Information

The corpus Deutsch in Namibia (DNam, ‘German in Namibia’) was built within the project "Namdeutsch: The dynamics of German in the multilingual context of Namibia". It is openly accessible via the Datenbank für Gesprochenes Deutsch (DGD, ‘Database for Spoken German’). This corpus is a new digital resource that comprehensively and systematically documents the language use of the German-speaking minority in Namibia and related language attitudes. Detailed information can be found in Zimmer et al. (in press) and in the DGD.
