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

The book offers a completely new view of language and of languages such as Russian, Chinese, Bulgarian, Georgian, Danish and English by dividing them into three supertypes on the basis of a step-by-step examination of their relationship to perception and cognition, their representation of situations and their use in oral and written discourse. The dynamic processing of visual stimuli involves three stages: input (experience), intake (understanding) and outcome (a combination). The very choice among three modalities of existence gives a language a certain voice -- either the voice of...

The multifunctionality of pragmatic markers makes it difficult to describe their meaning and functional potential. For example we know very little about pragmatic markers and prosody, their sociolinguistic use (how they are related to the speaker's social class, age or gender) or their distribution across text types (informal conversation, discussion, broadcast programme). This book looks at pragmatic markers in a corpus of spoken English, with a focus on the functions performed by the markers in different types of text. The author explores the syntactic, semantic, pragmatic and discourse...

Vocatives have rarely been comprehensively discussed in their various facets. With 12 contributions covering the diversity of vocative marking, structures, and functions, as well as the relevance of vocatives for theoretical and methodological reasoning, this volume contributes to closing a significant gap in linguistic research. It provides a detailed picture of the vocative as a structure between 'system' and 'performance'.

Die Buchreihe Linguistische Arbeiten hat mit uber 500 Banden zur linguistischen Theoriebildung der letzten Jahrzehnte in Deutschland und international wesentlich beigetragen. Die Reihe wird auch weiterhin neue Impulse fur die Forschung setzen und die zentrale Einsicht der Sprachwissenschaft prasentieren, dass Fortschritt in der Erforschung der menschlichen Sprachen nur durch die enge Verbindung von empirischen und theoretischen Analysen sowohl diachron wie synchron moglich ist. Daher laden wir hochwertige linguistische Arbeiten aus allen zentralen Teilgebieten der allgemeinen und...

Over the past few decades, the book series Linguistische Arbeiten Linguistic Studies], comprising over 500 volumes, has made a significant contribution to the development of linguistic theory both in Germany and internationally. The series will continue to deliver new impulses for research and maintain the central insight of linguistics that progress can only be made in acquiring new knowledge about human languages both synchronically and diachronically by closely combining empirical and theoretical analyses. To this end, we invite submission of high-quality linguistic studies...

Diese Arbeit erforscht aufgrund von Hoflichkeit entstandene Miverstandnisse zwischen Deutschen und Arabern, die in der interkulturellen Kommunikation unterschiedlichen Hoflichkeitsmaximen folgen. Den Kern der Daten bilden Gesprache im Rahmen von privaten Abendeinladungen (Tannens Methode). Die transkribierten Gesprache werden dann in Ausschnitten den Sprechern und auch Unbeteiligten zur Beurteilung vorgelegt (playback-Interviews). Auf der Grundlage einer interpretativen Soziolinguistik (Gumperz) und der Hoflichkeitstheorie von Brown/Levinson wird ein interdisziplinares methodisches...
