Familienchronotopoi im Israelkorpus: Orte und Sprachen bei Sprecher_innen österreichischer Herkunft und ihren Familien

The narrative interviews of the so-called Israelkorpus represent family narratives in which various stories of migration and flight come together. Since many speakers have family origins in Central European regions where other languages besides German were spoken (first and foremost Yiddish), the linguistic biographies of their families are extremely varied. This is especially true for interviewees who came from peripheral regions on the edge of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. In my contribution I provide some quantitative data on the sub-corpus of my research, which includes all interviews conducted with first-generation speakers born in Austria or in other territories of the Habsburg Empire. Next I analyze some examples that show which chronotopes can be associated with the places the interviewees mention in reference to the migration experiences of some of their family members. Finally, these chronotopes are related to their family language biography.
