Kategoria BISAC: Language Arts & Disciplines >> Linguistics - Pragmatics

This corpus pragmatic study addresses the symptomatic function of lexical and grammatical constructions in relation to the speaker's affiliation with groups that develop discourses through their shared social position. It uses a corpus of spoken and written communications on the bioethics debate to examine qualitative and quantitative correlations between spoken and written verbal patterns and roles, medium and context.

This series publishes original contributions which describe and theoretically analyze structures of natural languages. The main focus is on principles and rules of grammatical and lexical knowledge both with respect to individual languages and from a comparative perspective. The volumes cover all levels of linguistic analysis, especially phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, and pragmatics, including aspects of language acquisition, language use, language change, and phonetical and neuronal realization.

Sequential images are as natural at conveying narratives as verbal language, and have appeared throughout human history, from cave paintings and tapestries right through to modern comics. Contemporary research on this visual language of sequential images has been scattered across several fields: linguistics, psychology, anthropology, art education, comics studies, and others. Only recently has this disparate research begun to be incorporated into a coherent understanding.

Diese Studie untersucht, ob im Franzosischen und Italienischen die Verwendung mehrerer Frageelemente in einem Fragesatz (z.B. engl. Who ate what?) moglich ist. Wie sich zeigt, gibt es Frage- und Exklamativsatztypen, die mit mehrfachen Frageelementen von Muttersprachlern als ungrammatisch bewertet werden und deren Existenz auch nicht in groen Korpora des Italienischen und Franzosischen bestatigt werden kann. Einige Beschrankungen, die in dieser Arbeit beobachtet werden, sind in der vorhandenen Literatur bereits bekannt (vgl. Obenauer 1994, Den Dikken & Giannakidou 2002 zu...

The Routledge Handbook of Pragmatics provides a state-of-the-art overview of the wide breadth of research in pragmatics. An introductory section outlines a brief history, the main issues and key approaches and perspectives in the field, followed by a thought-provoking introductory chapter on interdisciplinarity by Jacob L. Mey. A further thirty-eight chapters cover both traditional and newer areas of pragmatic research, divided into four sections:

• Methods and modalities
• Established fields
• Pragmatics across...

Dieser Band vereint korpuslinguistische, lexikographische und sprachbiographische Methoden, um aus Sprachgebrauchsdaten das Sprachbewusstsein einer Person oder einer Gesellschaft abzuleiten. Auf Basis einer dynamischen, prozessorientierten Sprachtheorie werden Mechanismen der Emergenz von Strukturen diskutiert, die fur Standardsprache, Varietaten und mehrsprachige Situationen kennzeichnend sind.

This collection combines research from the field of (im)politeness studies with research on language pedagogy and language learning. It aims to engender a useful dialogue between (im)politeness theorists, language teachers, and SLA researchers, and also to broaden the enquiry to naturalistic contexts other than L2 acquisition classrooms, by formulating 'teaching' and 'learning' as processes of socialization, cultural transmission, and adaptation.

TRENDS IN LINGUISTICS is a series of books that open new perspectives in our understanding of language. The series publishes state-of-the-art work on core areas of linguistics across theoretical frameworks as well as studies that provide new insights by building bridges to neighbouring fields such as neuroscience and cognitive science.

TRENDS IN LINGUISTICS considers itself a forum for cutting-edge research based on solid empirical data on language in its various manifestations, including sign languages. It regards linguistic variation in its synchronic and diachronic dimensions as...
