On the Discursive Deconstruction and Reconstruction of Europe
Europe is the name for a scintillating variety of historically emerged concepts, constantly developed and discussed over time. Its complexity and fuzziness is reflected in a multitude of myths, topoi, symbols and boundaries, which all constitute shared knowledge of the concept of EUROPE and which continue to influence attempts to (de- and re-)construct European identity. The case studies collected in this volume investigate the competing concepts of Europe in political and public discourses from a wide range of perspectives (e.g. frame semantics, discourse linguistics, multimodal analysis), focusing on the following aspects: How is EUROPE conceptualised, (re-)negotiated and legitimised by different political actors, political bodies and institutions? How does “the European idea” change throughout history and how is the re-emerging idea of nationality evaluated?
International Discourses of Authoritarian Populism
International Discourses of Authoritarian Populism provides 15 cutting-edge chapters probing into the diversity of present-day populist discourse from across the world. Not adhering to any particular school, the volume explores populism from a variety of disciplines and perspectives, with contributions characterized by heuristic openness as called for by the manifold manifestations of populism. The chapters balance theoretical and empirical studies, as well as quantitative and qualitative surveys and case studies, to offer readings on historical and new types of populism, and the politicians associated with these variates. Authors draw on a variety of print, digital, textual, and visual sour...
The Representation of REFUGEES and MIGRANTS in European National Media Discourses from 2015 to 2017
Though the refugee crisis was discussed in many countries e.g. in Greece, Hungary, Italy and Spain long before 2015, it began to receive cross- European press coverage only after Angela Merkel’s statement ‘Wir schaffen das!’ on the August 30th 2015 This data-based study focuses on, how journalists report on and leading politicians make statements about refugees, migrants and asylum seekers in media and frame these humans after Angela Merkels’ sentence in 2015 until the end of 2017. This volume uses mainly Corpus Linguistics but also Communicative Science for the analysis of labelling strategies and the usage of words, collocations and grammar systems used by journalists and politicians in different European countries in comparison. This empirical volume pictures language specific variation and change of labels. To enable a contrastive study between the press discourses of many European countries, every chapter analyses the data consisting of newspaper articles describing the discourse of a particular country, including discourses of some transit countries around the borders of the Schengen Area of the European Union, which barely have been covered in other studies.
Language, Migration and Multilingualism in the Age of Digital Humanities
Located at the intersection of humanities and applied informatics, the fledgling discipline of Digital Humanities is bringing new impulses to the field of (Romance) linguistics. Those are especially productive in the context of migration and heteroglossic practices, which encounter constraining language ideologies in Western societies. The aim of this volume is to critically reflect on both the usefulness and limitations of digitization in different areas and superdiverse contexts of the Spanish-speaking world. Through 11 case studies, it illuminates the digital turn from different theoretical and methodological perspectives, providing a better understanding of the complex interplay between language and digitization.
Fridays for Future
Die Fridays for Future-Bewegung (FFF) verschafft dem Kampf gegen den Klimawandel weltweit Gehör. Sie hat für die komplexen Daten der Klimamodelle Worte gefunden und so den Klimawandel in den Fokus medialer Berichterstattung gerückt. Das Sprechen über Klimawandel selbst steht allerdings bislang nicht im Zentrum von Presseerzeugnissen und wissenschaftlichen Publikationen. Dabei setzt politischer Wandel die sprachliche Vermittlung von Inhalten voraus. Klimapolitik bildet davon keine Ausnahme. Der Sammelband analysiert daher Äußerungen von und über FFF sprachwissenschaftlich und bietet einen methodisch und theoretisch breiten, multiperspektivischen linguistischen Zugang zum Thema: Wie wird über den Klima-wandel gesprochen? Welche Themen und Strukturen prägen den aktuellen Klimadiskurs nicht nur in Deutschland? Gibt es eine internationale Sprache der FFF?
Die Krise als Krieg
Krisen haben ihre eigene Sprache. Krisen spiegeln sich in Sprache. Krisen entstehen durch Sprache. Und oftmals geht mit Krisen das Erstarken von Populismus einher. Populismus ist eine vage und semantisch umkämpfte Bezeichnung für ein Phänomen, in dessen Mittelpunkt der vermeintliche Krieg des „wahren“ Volkes gegen das Establishment steht. Populisten reklamieren in ihrem Diskurs für sich, den Willen des Volks in diesem – verbalen – Krieg gegen die Elite zu vertreten. Die Beiträge des Bandes analysieren sowohl rechts- als auch linkspopulistischen Sprachgebrauch in der Krise aus syntaktischer, semantischer, diskurs-, polito- und neurolinguistischer Perspektive anhand von Fallbeispielen aus Frankreich und der Schweiz.
Manual of Standardization in the Romance Languages
Language standardization is an ongoing process based on the notions of linguistic correctness and models. This manual contains thirty-six chapters that deal with the theories of linguistic norms and give a comprehensive up-to-date description and analysis of the standardization processes in the Romance languages. The first section presents the essential approaches to the concept of linguistic norm ranging from antiquity to the present, and includes individual chapters on the notion of linguistic norms and correctness in classical grammar and rhetoric, in the Prague School, in the linguistic theory of Eugenio Coseriu, in sociolinguistics as well as in pragmatics, cognitive and discourse lingu...
