Abstract

The layman transcribes his dialect-texts in accordance with the conventions of the spelling. The article argues that he follows these inherent rules, partly unconsciously. Therefore his dialect-writing can prove the rules of two identical letters after a stressed vowel. In the german linguistics there is a discussion, if the rules are better founded by syllabic or quantitative regularities. The empiric result is that the layman's writing is better to be explained by the quantitative hypothesis. It is argued that there is a change of rules during the last centuries: in the 16th and 17th century the rules were syllabicly based; by the influence of the morphemic principle there came a turn to a quantitative basis in the 18th century (evidently by the graphemic integration of loanwords). It may be possible that the rules turn back to the syllabic basis in the 21th century because of the increasing stock of english loanwords like english “job -jobbing” to german “Job -jobben”.
