Metaphor and Argumentation in Climate Crisis Discourse
This volume sheds light on the argumentative role of metaphor in climate change discourse, unpacking the ways in which stakeholders use specific metaphors to influence perceptions of the climate crisis. While existing research has explored the explanatory function of metaphors in communication on climate change, this book offers an alternative view, one which posits that metaphors can go beyond disseminating scientific observations to promoting biases in the depiction of these observations. Augé analyses oft-used ideas in climate change communication, such as greenwashing, drawn from a wide-ranging corpus spanning media discourse, scientific discourse, NGO communications, political speech, ...
Political Discourse Analysis
Political Discourse Analysis addresses the challenges facing political actors at all levels of society and across a range of regimes. It shows how discursive legitimisation strategies can vary on a continuum ranging from the stabilising effects of institutional discourse and the management of destabilising factors inherent in new types of media to the destabilising potential of rhetorical devices and deliberate de-legitimisation strategies used to attack opponents. The diverse approaches show how political actors strive to maintain control in the context of democratic deficit and crisis in developed societies while addressing growing global threats to stability in all regimes. While many actors seek legitimisation through the institutional structure, media or rhetoric, others may seek to weaken any opposition to them through de-legitimisation. In this collection Butler provides the reader with replicable methods that can be adapted to political contexts.
Proverbs within Cognitive Linguistics
The volume presents an innovative set of researches featuring theoretical and practical discussions of the proverb in cognition and culture. To date, there seems to be a need for state-of-the-art research into this subject matter. This volume aims at responding to this need. The chapters contribute, from a Cognitive Linguistics interdisciplinary perspective, to the existing body of literature on the proverb. The book begins with a first part containing three chapters concerned with theoretical discussions of proverbs in cognition and culture. The three chapters in the second part ponder proverbs within a cognitive-cross-cultural perspective. The third part of the volume includes three chapte...
Language, Corpora, and Technology in Applied Linguistics
As culture and society has become more digitalized, especially when computer science and digital technologies have entered a new era in the twenty-first century, translation studies began to utilize a wide range of tools to enhance its reading of texts and contexts, without which translation both as a practice and as a theorization could barely persist. It has become more apparent that two extreme poles between macro and micro visions have formed the diversified terrains of translation studies. On the one hand, technologies like NLP, topic modeling, network analysis and data visualization make distant reading become possible, thus allowing us to have a paradigmatic view of how human’s idea...
Frauenliebe/Männerliebe
"Und wenn ich liebte, wie sollte ich dann reden können?" Herman Bang Dieser Band porträtiert in über einhundert Essays Autorinnen und Autoren unterschiedlicher Epochen und Kulturen - ein Kompendium von Namen und Werken, die einen Teil der Weltliteratur ausmachen und die hier so gelesen werden, wie es die traditionelle Literaturwissenschaft bis heute versäumt hat, nämlich als Beiträge zu einer lesbisch-schwulen Literaturgeschichte.
Beyond Meaning
Despite the fact that they are often crucial to our understanding, the vague, ineffable elements of language use and communication have received much less attention from linguists than the more concrete, effable ones. This has left a range of important questions unanswered. How might we account for the communication of non-propositional phenomena such as moods, emotions and impressions? What type of cognitive response do these phenomena trigger, if not conceptual or propositional? Do creative metaphors and unknown words in second languages and other ‘pointers’ to ‘conceptual regions’ communicate concepts learned from language alone? How might the descriptive ineffability of interjections, free indirect speech etc. be accommodated within a theory of communication? What of those working on the aesthetics of artworks, music and literature? What can evolution tell us about ineffability? The papers in this volume address these fascinating questions head-on. They represent a range of different attempts to answer them and, in so doing, allow us to pose exciting new questions. The aim, to bring the ineffable firmly within the grasp of theoretical pragmatics.
Anaïs, Freitag, Ich
EINE PHANTASTISCHE ROBINSONADE Gestern noch dachte Finn in seiner Kreuzberger Stammkneipe über sein Leben nach. Kaum ein Tag später jagt er durch Thailands Dschungel, verfolgt von einem erbarmungslosen Killer. Was als angenehmer Abend im Hotel mit der Bekanntschaft Freitags und einer geheimnisvollen Unbekannten beginnt, katapultiert ihn in ein Abenteuer jenseits seiner wildesten Vorstellungen. Auf einem mysteriösen Kreuzfahrtschiff begegnet er Anaïs – faszinierend, rätselhaft und gefangen durch einen magischen Bann. Um sie aus ihrer Lage zu befreien, muss sich Finn nicht nur mit skurrilen Passagieren herumschlagen, sondern auch die Geheimnisse einer abgelegenen Insel entschlüsseln und tödlichen Gefahren entkommen. In einer Welt, in der die Grenzen zwischen Realität und Traum verschwimmen, kämpft Finn um sein Überleben und seine neu entflammte Liebe. Kann er Anaïs retten? Oder wird er selbst zum Opfer dieses surrealen Trips durch exotische Landschaften und lauernde Albträume? SCHRILL, WITZIG, SURREAL
