Dr. Monika Fritz-Scheuplein, a linguist and expert on the dialects of Lower Franconia, will speak on Wednesday, November 11, 2026, at 6:30 p.m. at the Historic City Hall in Schweinfurt about the grammatical and syntactic characteristics of Franconian dialects. The lecture will explore how dialects differ not only in pronunciation and vocabulary but also in grammar and sentence structure.
Topics will include the formation of feminine and masculine terms, plural forms, the subjunctive, and specific word orders. Language maps and examples will be used to illustrate the differences between the linguistic regions of Lower Franconia. Fritz-Scheuplein studied German language and literature and history at the University of Würzburg and focuses his research and teaching on regional language history and dialectology. The Historic City Hall is located at Markt 1 in Schweinfurt.
