It's different with you
This book is a collection of studies about forms of address in the world’s languages, with a focus on contrast and difference. The individual chapters highlight inter- and intralinguistic variation in the expression of address and its sociol-cultural functions across media, registers, geographical contexts and time – in more than 15 languages. The volume showcases the variety of approaches that exists in current address research, including the breadth of contrastive methodologies harnessing surveys and questionnaires, focus group discussions, corpus linguistics, discourse and conversation analysis to offer complementary perspectives on culture-specific address practice. This volume is for students and researchers of address and social interaction in a range of disciplines in the humanities and social sciences, including various sub-disciplines of linguistics (such as contrastive, variational and intercultural pragmatics, sociolinguistics, and morphology) and intercultural communication, as well as experts in individual languages and qualitative sociologists.
Medieval German Voices in the 21st Century
As witnessed by a tremendous upsurge in medieval research, academic meetings, innovative interpretive approaches, enrolment numbers, and public interest, Medieval Studies are proving once again to be a vibrant field of investigations both inside and outside of academia. Nevertheless, there is a tendency among colleagues and administrators in the field of Germanistik/German Studies to exclude the earlier period as an exotic and irrelevant subject matter. The contributors to this volume, all of whom teach at North American universities, make a strong case for the paradigmatic function of medieval German literature for the general field of Germanistik, and argue that many of the most recent cha...

Moving Texts, Migrating People and Minority Languages
In an age of migration, in a world deeply divided through cultural differences and in the context of ongoing efforts to preserve national and regional traditions and identities, the issues of language and translation are becoming absolutely vital. At the heart of these complex, intercultural interactions are various types of agents, intermediaries and mediators, including translators, writers, artists, policy makers and publishers involved in the preservation or rejuvenation of literary and cultural repertoires, languages and identities. The major themes of this book include language and translation in the context of migration and diasporas, migrant experiences and identities, the translatio...
Guilt
Across the globe guilt has become a contentious issue in discussions over historical accountability and reparation for past injustices. Guilt has become political, and it assumes a highly visible place in the public sphere and academic debate in fields ranging from cultural memory, to transitional justice, post-colonialism, Africana studies, and the study of populist extremism. This volume argues that guilt is a productive force that helps to balance unequal power dynamics between individuals and groups. Moreover, guilt can also be an ambivalent force affecting social cohesion, moral revolutions, political negotiation, artistic creativity, legal innovation, and other forms of transformations...
Sprache im kommunikativen, interaktiven und kulturellen Kontext
Der Band orientiert über den Stand der Forschung zur kommunikativen Verwendung von Sprache, ihrer Rolle in der Interaktion und ihrem Verhältnis zur Kultur. Die Beiträge stellen theoretische Grundlagen und wissenschaftsgeschichtliche Entwicklungen ihrer jeweiligen Forschungsgegenstände dar, illustrieren sie anhand von empirischen Ergebnissen und formulieren Desiderata für die Zukunft der Sprachwissenschaft.
Sprachreflexion und Grammatikunterricht
Dieser Band thematisiert den Grammatikunterricht von seiner historischen Entwicklung bis zur aktuellen heterogenen Situation. Betont wird die reflexive Praxis, um die es im Grammatikunterricht geht, und die Notwendigkeit, den Blick zu weiten und sowohl die Bezüge zwischen Grammatik und den anderen Gegenständen des Deutschunterrichts zu sehen als auch an die außerschulisch erworbenen Kompetenzen anzuknüpfen. Dies wird durch verschiedene Aspekte fundiert, für die Kompetenzbereiche konkretisiert und mündet in zahlreiche exemplarische Modelle, die Impulse für den Unterricht geben wollen. Durchgehend wird die mehrsprachige Situation der Klassenzimmer berücksichtigt. Thematisiert werden zudem die Unterrichtsqualität und Leistungsaufgaben, die für die Messung von grammatischem Wissen derzeit herangezogen werden. Der Band wendet sich an Lehrerinnen und Lehrer, an Studierende und eine interessierte Öffentlichkeit.
Deutsch als Fremd- und Zweitsprache. 1. Halbband
Deutsch als Fremd- und Zweitsprache umfasst ein weites Forschungs- und Praxisfeld, das alle Erscheinungsformen des Erwerbs und der Vermittlung der deutschen Sprache innerhalb und außerhalb deutschsprachiger Länder umfasst - von der Sprachenpolitik über linguistische, kontrastive und sprachenlerntheoretische Untersuchungen, landeskundliche und kulturwissenschaftliche Fragestellungen bis zur Praxis des Unterrichts, dem Lehrmaterial, den Methoden und Prüfungen. Mit Deutsch als Zweitsprache ist insbesondere die Vermittlung der deutschen Sprache im Kontext von Migration gemeint, was spezifische Konsequenzen für die Gestaltung von Curricula und Prüfungen ebenso wie die Lehrerbildung mit sich...
Enhancing and analysing Project Communication
Different cultures and languages make web-based communication among the members of international research projects often complex. Focussing on frequently neglected internal communication, this cumulative PhD thesis seeks to present methods from applied LSP research on a concrete case study – a research project from the area of Public Health. Aiming to establish a winwin situation between systematic approaches and communication optimisation, the case study is also used to verify known models. Systematic approaches can be beneficial for enhancing project communication, if they are part of a circle of theoria cum praxi. The thesis closes with appeals to linguists, project leaders and funding agencies for improving project communication as well as the involvement of applied linguistics in future.
