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

This volume aims at analyzing the relationship between the dialogical accomplishment of spoken talk-in-interaction on the one hand and entrenched patterns of linguistic and socio-cultural knowledge (constructions, frames, and communicative genres) on the other. The contributions analyze linguistic patterns in different languages such as English, French, German, and Swedish. Methodologically, they take up the usage-based position that structural and functional aspects of language use need to be studied empirically and "bottom-up": Since grammatical structure arises as the entrenched result...

Se observa que el sujeto expreso...

The Interfaces of Chinese Syntax with Semantics and Pragmatics provides an in-depth exploration of a variety of interface phenomena in Chinese, a non-inflectional language, where to a large extent word order constrains its interpretation and defines its grammatical functions.

Under the Dynamic Syntax approach, which takes the incremental left-to-right processing of linguistic forms to be a fundamental part of characterizing the relation between syntactic structure and semantic interpretation, a straightforward explanation is provided. The study features detailed analysis of a range...

Zwischenmenschliche Beziehungen formen unsere Sprache und unseren Sprachgebrauch, und diese wiederum gestalten unsere Beziehungen. Obwohl diese Wechselwirkung ebenso grundlegend wie vielfaltig ist, hat sich um sie bis jetzt kein linguistisches Forschungsfeld ausgebildet, das ahnlich systematisch bearbeitet worden ist wie dasjenige um Sprache und Geschlecht, Sprache und Alter oder Sprache und soziale Gruppen.

Der Band versammelt 15 Beitrage, die das Forschungsfeld Sprache und Beziehung exemplarisch besetzen. Sie beziehen sich raumzeitlich auf den deutschen Sprachraum vom...
