Abstract
The paper deals with the morpho-syntactic variation of subjunctive II in Bavarian dialect regions of (former) Austria and focuses on language dynamics.
 The broad empirical basis comes from two different corpora: The first corpus consists of data from the “Dictionary of Bavarian dialects in Austria” (WBÖ), reflecting the base dialects of the first half of the 20th century. These data are supplemented by recent oral data that were elicited in project part 03 “Speech repertoires and varietal spectra” of the Special Research Programme “German in Austria. Variation – Contact – Perception” (DiÖ).
 Combining WBÖ and DiÖ, PP03 data, a real time comparison is carried out. For additional apparent time evidence, the internal variation within the two datasets is taken into account: While in the WBÖ data different registers are compared, variation in the DiÖ, PP03 data is analyzed with respect to different registers and different speaker groups (old vs. young).
 The WBÖ and the DiÖ, PP03 data provide empirical evidence that the -ad-marker that was initially restricted to weak verbs has exceeded its domain and is universally compatible with all verb classes. In connection with this, there is a decrease of strong synthetic subjunctive II forms.
 The real time as well as the apparent time findings indicate an increase of analytic subjunctive II constructions at the cost of synthetic forms. Furthermore, we find an expansion of the werden-periphrasis, while the number of tun-subjunctives declines.

Summary
Wie die Beispiele 1–6 illustrieren, erweist sich der Konjunktiv II im Bairischen – gerade im Vergleich mit anderen Dialekten – als besonders gebräuchlich und facettenreich. Indem (primär) an das Auxiliar tun der -ad Marker angehängt wird, entsteht eine Form, die den Konjunktiv zweifach anzeigt Darüber hinaus lässt sich beobachten, dass der analytische Konjunktiv II mit tun zunehmend durch die werden-Umschreibung substituiert wird. Rezent bieten Breuer/Wittibschlager (2020) anhand gesprochensprachlicher urbaner und ruraler Experimentdaten sowie Stöckle (2020) auf Basis jener WBÖ-Daten, die auch einen Teil des Datenpools des vorliegenden Beitrags darstellen, Einblicke zur areal-horizontalen Variation. Variationslinguistische Aspekte: Lassen sich sowohl innerhalb der Datenbestände als auch über deren Vergleich Rückschlüsse auf Sprachwandel (Ausbau des analytischen Konjunktivs, Ersatz des dialektalen tun-Konjunktivs durch standarddeutsche werden-Form) ziehen?. Welche sprachdynamischen Prozesse lassen sich aus dem Vergleich der beiden Korpora (WBÖ, DiÖ, PP03) ableiten? Inwiefern eignen sich die Daten für einen solchen Vergleich?
