Sprache Und Vertrauen
Vertrauen hängt in allen Domänen des Lebens von der Kommunikation ab - sei es im Privatleben, in Institutionen, in der Medizin, Bildung und anderen Bereichen. Entsprechend deren Vielfalt variieren die Mechanismen von Vertrauen. Wie hängen dabei Vertrauen und Sprache zusammen? Diese Frage muss differenziert beantwortet werden. Der Sammelband fokussiert die linguistische Perspektive und verbindet sie mit Facetten aus benachbarten Disziplinen.

Vertrauen und Misstrauen in der Flüchtlingsdebatte 2015-2017
Die jüngste Flüchtlingsdebatte zählt zu den besonders kontrovers diskutierten Themen der letzten Jahre in Deutschland. Der Band fokussiert die Rolle der Aufnahmebereitschaft gegenüber Flüchtlingen und betrachtet sie aus diskurslinguistischer Perspektive im Sinne der sprachlichen Konstruktion von Vertrauen und Misstrauen in den Massenmedien. Vertrauenserodierende und vertrauensgenerierende Muster des kollektiven Denkens, Fühlens und Wollens werden anhand von Argumentationstopoi untersucht und im Hinblick auf implizite sprachliche Konstruktionen fehlender oder vorhandener Aufnahmebereitschaft in der massenmedialen Berichterstattung über Flüchtlinge zwischen September 2015 und Februar 2017 betrachtet. Die Ergebnisse der Korpusanalyse lassen auf eine eher ausgewogene sprachliche Konstruktion schließen, in der weder misstrauische noch vertrauensvolle Einstellungen gegenüber Flüchtlingen dominieren. In theoretisch-methodischer Hinsicht stellt die Arbeit eine Erweiterung der linguistischen Vertrauensforschung um die diskurslinguistische Ebene dar und zeigt das Potenzial des manuellen Annotierens für diskurslinguistische Fragestellungen.
Ecocriticism on the Edge
The twenty-first century has seen an increased awareness of the forms of environmental destruction that cannot immediately be seen, localised or, by some, even acknowledged. Ecocriticism on the Edge explores the possibility of a new mode of critical practice, one fully engaged with the destructive force of the planetary environmental crisis. Timothy Clark argues that, in literary and cultural criticism, the “Anthropocene”, which names the epoch in which human impacts on the planet's ecological systems reach a dangerous limit, also represents a threshold at which modes of interpretation that once seemed sufficient or progressive become, in this new counterintuitive context, inadequate or even latently destructive. The book includes analyses of literary works, including texts by Paule Marshall, Gary Snyder, Ben Okri, Henry Lawson, Lorrie Moore and Raymond Carver.
Metaphorical Conceptualizations
The book deals with the important shift that has been heralded in cognitive linguistics from mere universal matters to cultural and situational variation. The discussions examine cognitive and cultural linguistics’ theories in relation to the following areas of research: (i) metaphorical conceptualization; (ii) the influence of culture on metaphor, metonymy and conceptual blends; (iii) the impact of culture and cognition on metaphorical lexis; (iv) the interface of pragmatics and cognition when metaphor is studied in situ, that is, in face-to-face as well as in virtual multimodal interaction; (v) the application of insights from metaphorical conceptualizations to language teaching, and (vi) recent methods for revealing (inter)cultural metaphorical conceptualizations (corpus-based approaches, gesture studies, etc.). The book brings together cognitive, functional, and (inter)cultural approaches.
Fundamental Concepts in Phonology
This book is an investigation of the basic concepts of phonological theory. In particular it is concerned with the concepts of sameness and difference, each a sine qua non of classification. It is assumed that all academic disciplines operate with these two basic concepts when classification is involved. Since phonology is the area of linguistics that deals with the interface between the abstract system of native speaker knowledge and physical entities in the world, the linguistic classification of those physical entities needs to be guided by clear and rigorously applied criteria for deciding what constitutes the same sound and what not. During the development of modern linguistics over the past hundred years or so it has generally been assumed that the criteria for classification are to be found in a segmented version of the phonetic continuum of spoken language. This is still largely the case today, even though the system of native speaker knowledge of language is seen as a highly abstract mental representation of that knowledge. This book questions the basis of such assumptions, in particular segmentation, abstractness, monosystemicity and derivation.
Urban North-Eastern English
This is a new volume in the Dialects of English series - a series of short, accessible but authoritative books on specific dialect varieties, each written by a specialist or specialists who have done first-hand work on the variety concerned. This volume provides an overview of all aspects of north-eastern English and explores the phonetic, phonological and morphosyntactic features of the variety, includes an analysis of lexical items. It focuses on the historical and linguistic aspects of the dialect and local culture, as well as investigating variation and change across generations. Designed with undergraduates and the general reader in mind, this book provides an excellent introduction to dialects of the region.
About Time
Why have theorists approached narrative primarily as a form of retrospect? Mark Currie argues that anticipation and other forms of projection into the future are vital for an understanding of narrative and its effects in the world.
Of Jews and Animals
In developing his own conception of the 'figure', Andrew Benjamin has written an innovative and provocative study of the complex relationship between philosophy, the history of painting and their presentation of both Jews and animals. Newly available in p
Evidential Marking in European Languages
How are evidential functions distinguished by means other than grammatical paradigms, i.e. by function words and other lexical units? And how inventories of such means can be compared across languages (against an account also of grammatical means used to mark information source)? This book presents an attempt at supplying a comparative survey of such inventories by giving detailed “evidential profiles” for a large part of European languages: Continental Germanic, English, French, Basque, Russian, Polish, Lithuanian, Modern Greek, and Ibero-Romance languages, such as Catalán, Galician, Portuguese and Spanish. Each language is treated in a separate chapter, and their profiles are based on a largely unified set of concepts based on function and/or etymological provenance. The profiles are preceded by a chapter which clarifies the theoretical premises and methodological background for the format followed in the profiles. The concluding chapter presents a synthesis of findings from these profiles, including areal biases and the formulation of methodological problems that call for further research.
