We determine construction patterns and the functional spectrum of historical <em>man<\/em>uses of man in relation to their construction alternatives (e.g., other pronouns and passive forms). On the other hand, the project retrochronically investigates how contemporary non-prototypical uses of man, especially self-referential ones with speaker reference, may have developed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>Since historical functional spectra of pronouns can only be accessed based on written texts, and since specific modes of usage are consolidated in each text genre, only a broad comparison of different genres can provide a differentiated picture. For this reason, samples of texts of monologic genres conveying knowledge and information (plague tracts, bathing books, and newspapers) and dialogue-related genres (comedies, language textbooks, and interrogation protocols) of the 16th-18th centuries are included, in addition to the reference corpora of the older language stages of German. Only in this way can genre-specific and broader uses of the pronoun and its alternatives be determined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"479\" height=\"351\" src=\"https:\/\/tp2.forschungsgruppe-pronomen.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/v2_bsb11281230_00417_full_full_0_default.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-475\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tp2.forschungsgruppe-pronomen.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/v2_bsb11281230_00417_full_full_0_default.jpg 479w, https:\/\/tp2.forschungsgruppe-pronomen.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/v2_bsb11281230_00417_full_full_0_default-300x220.jpg 300w, https:\/\/tp2.forschungsgruppe-pronomen.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/v2_bsb11281230_00417_full_full_0_default-16x12.jpg 16w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 479px) 100vw, 479px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Example language texbook: Johannes Angelus von Sumaran: Das Newe Sprachbuch, M\u00fcnchen 1620\/1621 (digital copy Bayerische Staatsbibliothek: https:\/\/www.digitale-sammlungen.de\/de\/view\/bsb11281230?page=416,417) <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u00a9 Bayerische Staatsbibliothek<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Projektteam: Antje Dammel, Laura Duve (M\u00fcnster) Das historisch ausgerichtete Teilprojekt unserer Arbeitsgruppe geht in einem gebrauchsbasierten Ansatz zum einen diachron den Spuren der Entstehung des Pronomens man aus generischen Nominalphrasen mit Mann\/Mensch nach, die sich im Alt- und Mittelhochdeutschen noch finden.
