Mental models of linguistic varieties 287
Notes
- Acknowledgement: Many thanks to Irmi Kaiser, Christina Cuonz and the
reviewers of this volume for their very valuable comments on an earlier ver-
sions of this chapter.
- Most of the data presented in this chapter have been collected in a Seminar on
“folk linguistics” I have taught in 2004 at the University of Fribourg, Switzer-
land. Thanks to an extraordinary class of brilliant students who contributed to
this research: Ine Baeyens, Michael Boller, Tom Baumann, Stefan Bosshart,
Karin Brülhart, Cyril Cattin, Rahel Egli, Pamela Gerber, Sabrina Ghielmini,
Sibyl Herrmann, Tobias Lambrecht, Guido U. Loosli, Rita Marty, Marina
Petkova, Denise Pfammatter, Mirjeta Reci, Kristina Ruff, Kathrin Stadel-
mann, Franziska Suter, Jan Zenhäusern.
- In my view, neither Köhler’s original design nor any of the modified modern
variants of this task can totally rule out possible mediating effects of the gra-
phemes associated with the high and low vowels (e.g. vs. ).
