Face Work and Social Media
On social media platforms - such as Facebook and Twitter, message boards, blogs, and commentaries - users interact as if they know each other personally. Malicious verbal behavior is found next to clapping and kissing emoticons, both indicative of users' relational work strategies. This book contains 17 papers that examine 'face work' in social media - theoretical reflections, as well as corpus-based studies - thus opening the way to rethink linguistic pragmatics in computer-mediated communication. (Series: Hildesheimer Contributions to Media Research / Hildesheimer Beitrage zur Medienforschung - Vol. 2) [Subject: Sociology, Media Studies, Communication, Computer Technology]
Pragmatics of Social Media
This handbook provides a comprehensive overview of the pragmatics of social media, i.e. of digitally mediated and Internet-based platforms which are interactively used to share and edit self- and other-generated textual and audio-visual messages. Its five parts offer state-of-the-art reviews and critical evaluations in the light of on-going developments: Part I The Nature of Social Media sets up the conceptual groundwork as it explores key concept such as social media, participation, privacy/publicness. Part II Social Media Platforms focuses on the pragmatics of single platforms such as YouTube, Facebook. Part III Social Media and Discourse covers the micro-and macro-level organization of social media discourse, while Part IV Social Media and Identity reveals the multifarious ways in which users collectively (re-)construct aspects of their identities. Part V Social Media and Functions/Speech Acts surveys pragmatic studies on speech act functions such as disagreeing, complimenting, requesting. Each contribution provides a state-of-the-art review together with a critical evaluation of the existing research.
Manual of Romance Languages in the Media
This manual provides an extensive overview of the importance and use of Romance languages in the media, both in a diachronic and synchronic perspective. Its chapters discuss language in television and the new media, the language of advertising, or special cases such as translation platforms or subtitling. Separate chapters are dedicated to minority languages and smaller varieties such as Galician and Picard, and to methodological approaches such as linguistic discourse analysis and writing process research.
Changement et stabilité
Cet ouvrage pr'esente huit nouvelles 'etudes empiriques sur diverses traditions discursives entre oral, oralit'e mise en scene et 'ecrit. Elles couvrent une large gamme de m'edias audio-visuels (presse, bande dessin'ee, radio, t'el'evision, film et chanson) et tous les niveaux linguistiques (phonologie, morphologie, syntaxe, s'emantique, pragmatique), en tenant compte du contact de langues et de vari'et'es. Ces 'etudes ont toutes en commun d'adopter une perspective diachronique et couvrent la p'eriode du XIX emeau XXI emesiecle. L'ouvrage constitue ainsi une contribution importante a l"ecriture du chapitre actuel de l'histoire de la langue francaise et a une connaissance plus d'etaill'ee des concepts de la linguistique des m'edias.
Complimenting Behavior and (Self-)Praise across Social Media
The present volume focuses on complimenting behavior, including the awarding of (self-)praise, as manifested on social media. These commonplace activities have been found to fulfil a wide range of functions in face-to-face interaction, discoursal and relational amongst others. However, even though the giving of compliments and praise has become a pervasive practice in online environments, it remains a largely underexplored field of study within pragmatics. Self-praise is an activity that appears at the present time to be rapidly gaining ground online, and the various functions it performs clearly also need further investigation. The different contributions to this ground-breaking volume – 12 in total – aim to address this gap in research by exploring and shedding light on a number of aspects of these phenomena in a range of languages and language varieties. New socio-digital contexts are examined, supported in some cases by social networking sites not previously studied in complimenting behavior research. These include Facebook, Instagram, Renren, Twitter, as well as web forums, message boards and live text commentary.
Handbuch Sprache und digitale Kommunikation
Sprache und Kommunikation in digitalen Medien sind Gegenstand sowohl anhaltender öffentlicher Debatten als auch einer mittlerweile dreißigjährigen interdisziplinären Forschung. Das vorliegende Handbuch fasst Ergebnisse dieser Forschung mit sprachwissenschaftlichem Schwerpunkt zusammen. Die von ausgewiesenen Expert/-innen verfassten Beiträge bieten Einsichten in die Interdependenzen technischer Plattformen (u.a. Smartphones, Social Media) und semiotischer Ressourcen (geschriebene und gesprochene Sprache, Bildzeichen, Memes und andere digitale Textartefakte) bei der Konstituierung von Interaktion und Sozialität sowie Gesellschaft und Diskurs. Die Beiträge untersuchen diese Wechselwirkungen auf verschiedenen Beschreibungsebenen. Die Themen umfassen sprachlich-semiotische Grundstrukturen und ihren Wandel (u.a. Interpunktion, Wortschatz, Bildzeichen), Bedingungen und Prozesse digital vermittelter Interaktion, das Entstehen neuer Kommunikationspraktiken sowie die Dynamik digitaler Diskurse in Politik und Gesellschaft. Das Handbuch richtet sich an Studierende und Wissenschaftler/-innen aller Disziplinen.
El español, lengua pluricéntrica
Fragen der Norm wurden für das Spanische bis weit ins 20. Jahrhundert ausschließlich von der Real Academia Española geklärt. Unter den Vorzeichen der Globalisierung und der sich immer stärker etablierenden Konzeption der Plurizentrik teilt die Sprachakademie diese Rolle zunehmend mit neuen Akteuren. Neben den Akademien in Spanischamerika treten vor allem die Massenmedien auf dem Feld der spanischen Sprachkultur in Erscheinung. In Fragen praktischer Sprachkodifikation kooperieren sie systematisch mit den Sprachakademien, zugleich aber fordern sie diese heraus, indem sie den Sprachgebrauch der Hispanophonie jenseits von Sprachpolitik und Didaktik mit eigenen, massenkommunikativ vermittelt...
Easy Language Research: Text and User Perspectives
This volume presents new approaches in Easy Language research from three different perspectives: text perspective, user perspective and translation perspective. It explores the field of comprehensibility-enhanced varieties at different levels (Easy Language, Plain Language, Easy Language Plus). While all are possible solutions to foster communicative inclusion of people with disabilities, they have varying impacts with regard to their comprehensibility and acceptability. The papers in this volume provide insights into the current scientific activities and results of two research teams at the Universities of Hildesheim and Mainz and present innovative theoretical and empirical perspectives on Easy Language research. The approaches comprise studies on the cognitive processing of Easy Language, on Easy Language in multimodal and multicodal texts and different situational settings as well as translatological considerations on Easy Language translation and interpreting.
Language and Emotion. Volume 3
The Handbook consists of four major sections. Each section is introduced by a main article: Theories of Emotion – General Aspects Perspectives in Communication Theory, Semiotics, and Linguistics Perspectives on Language and Emotion in Cultural Studies Interdisciplinary and Applied Perspectives The first section presents interdisciplinary emotion theories relevant for the field of language and communication research, including the history of emotion research. The second section focuses on the full range of emotion-related aspects in linguistics, semiotics, and communication theories. The next section focuses on cultural studies and language and emotion; emotions in arts and literature, as w...
Participation in Public and Social Media Interactions
This book deals with participation frameworks in modern social and public media. It brings together several cutting-edge research studies that offer exciting new insights into the nature and formats of interpersonal communication in diverse technology-mediated contexts. Some papers introduce new theoretical extensions to participation formats, while others present case studies in various discourse domains spanning public and private genres. Adopting the perspective of the pragmatics of interaction, these contributions discuss data ranging from public, mass-mediated and quasi-authentic texts, fully staged and scripted textual productions, to authentic, non-scripted private messages and commen...
