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.
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?
Remotivierung
In diesem Band untersuchen Forscher/-innen aus der germanistischen Linguistik Remotivierungsprozesse im Deutschen auf den Gebieten der Morphologie, der Wortbildung, der Phraseologie sowie der Pragmatik und diskutieren deren theoretische Einordnung im Rahmen von Grammatikalisierungs- und Lexikalisierungsprozessen sowie deren Gegenprozessen. Dieser Band steht wie auch der 2010 von Rüdiger Harnisch herausgegebene und ebenfalls in der Reihe LIT erschienene Band Prozesse sprachlicher Verstärkung – Typen formaler Resegmentierung und semantischer Remotivierung in der Tradition der Passauer Remotivierungsforschung. Ausgehend von morphologischen Forschungen zu Sprachwandelprozessen fällt auf, da...
To be or not to be? The Verbum Substantivum from Synchronic, Diachronic and Typological Perspectives
The verbs of the 'to be'-group, also called verba substantiva, belong to the most enigmatic phenomena of the human language. Combining a distinct suppletivity of their conjugational forms in most languages with a striking semantic and functional ambiguity, as well as unique syntactic capabilities, they form a very specific class of linguistic entities. They can be referred to, without exaggeration, as one of the conceptually gravest and most "symptomatic" language formations. Typologically, the be-verbs demonstrate, on the one hand, a set of similar features in almost every language, which is excellent evidence of their universal validity. On the other hand, the differences between these ver...
Research Handbook on Jurilinguistics
This Research Handbook offers a comprehensive study of jurilinguistics that not only presents the latest international research findings among academics and practitioners, but also provides a new approach to the phenomena and nature of communicative flexibility, legal genres, vulnerability of interlingual legal communication, and the cultural landscape of legal translation.
Folds of Past, Present and Future
This volume brings together important theoretical and methodological issues currently being debated in the field of history of education. The contributions shed insightful and critical light on the historiography of education, on issues of de-/colonization, on the historical development of the educational sciences and on the potentiality attached to the use of new and challenging source material.
Anglo-American Stage and Screen Drama
Anglo-American Stage and Screen Drama analyses and discusses the contemporary role of stage and screen drama as a critical forum for progressive thinking in an increasingly polarised geopolitical world. The book addresses the cultural politics of socially engaged 21st century stage plays and films, and makes the case for drama as a sociopolitical forum, in which the complex and contentious issues that confront society can be explored and debated. It conceives of Anglophone political drama as a significant intervention in today’s culture wars, representing the latter as a convenient distraction from the ongoing depredations of neoliberalism. In the main part of the book selected case-study plays and films from each of the first two decades illustrate drama’s capacity to influence critical debate on social justice issues. All of the case-study texts under discussion express a powerful aesthetics of resistance to right-wing ideology, and promote inclusive and enlightened values. This broader orientation underlines drama’s role as a channel for critical agency in today’s putative post-socialist, post-democratic climate.
Stile Extremistischer Tatschreiben
Obwohl viele inkriminierte Texte schnell bestimmten Textsorten zugeordnet werden können, beruht diese Zuordnung oftmals nicht auf linguistischen, sondern auf strafrechtlich relevanten Faktoren. Solche Klassifikationen sind für die forensische Praxis unverzichtbar, verbergen allerdings häufig die linguistische Vielfalt innerhalb eines Texttyps. Die vorliegende Arbeit untersucht die stilistische Variation in zwei konträr zueinanderstehenden Textklassen: rechtsextremen Droh- und Schmähbriefen sowie linksextremen Bekennerschreiben und Positionspapieren. Die über 150 authentischen Texte wurden mithilfe eines semi-automatisierten Clusterverfahrens hinsichtlich ihrer stilistischen Charakteris...
Adjektive
Die Probleme, die das Adjektiv aufwirft, sind vielfältig; und zahlreich sind die Bezüge zwischen ihnen. Beides ergibt sich aus einem charakteristischen „Dazwischen“ des Adjektivs. Und wenn der vorliegende Band seine Beiträge geordnet in drei Sektionen: Grammatik, Pragmatik, Erwerb präsentiert, dann vor dem Hintergrund, dass sich in allen drei Zugangsweisen dieses „Dazwischen“ in spezifischer Form wiederfindet: Grammatisch sind die Adjektive als Wortart definiert über ihre primär attributive Funktion, die zwischen Referenz und Prädikation rangiert, in ihrem pragmatischen Nutzen bewegen sich Adjektive kaum greifbar zwischen Bewertung und Beschreibung, und im Adjektiverwerb schei...
