Images in Use
Conceptualising images as images in use, this title considers the agencies behind visual communication and its impact on society.

Catastrophe and Catharsis
Destroying human habitat and taking human lives, disasters, be they natural, man-made, or a combination, threaten large populations, even entire nations and societies. They also disrupt the existing order and cause discontinuity in our sense of self and our perceptions of the world. To restore order, not only must human beings be rescued and affected areas rebuilt, but the reality of the catastrophe must also be transformed into narrative. The essays in this collection examine representations of disaster in literature, film, and mass media in German and international contexts, exploring the nexus between disruption and recovery through narrative from the eighteenth century to the present.

Language, Migration and Social Inequalities
Migration and the mobility of citizens around the globe pose important challenges to the linguistic and cultural homogeneity that nation-states rely on for defining their physical boundaries and identity, as well as the rights and obligations of their citizens. A new social order resulting from neoliberal economic practices, globalisation and outsourcing also challenges traditional ways the nation-state has organized its control over the people who have typically travelled to a new country looking for work or better life chances. This collection provides an account of the ways language addresses core questions concerning power and the place of migrants in various institutional and workplace settings. It brings together contributions from a range of geographical settings to understand better how linguistic inequality is (re)produced in this new economic order.
The Digital (R)Evolution of Legal Discourse
The primary goal of this book is to reach a better understanding of how the digital revolution has affected language and discourse practices in the field of law. It also explores the complex nature of the techniques and discursive strategies which emerge in the relationship between the different stakeholders (including non-experts) thanks to technological advances. By adopting a discourse analytical perspective which combines both qualitative and quantitative approaches, the book explores the hybridity of new genres and communicative processes. It provides an interdisciplinary platform for researchers, practitioners, and educators to present the most recent innovations, trends, and concerns,...
Bewertungsinteraktionen in der Theaterpause
Im Fokus der Untersuchung steht die Frage nach spezifischen Ausprägungen von Bewertungsinteraktionen in Gesprächen, die von Zuschauern in der Pause zwischen den Teilen eines Theaterstücks oder im Anschluss an die Rezeption des gesamten Theaterstücks geführt wurden. Vor dem Hintergrund linguistischer Studien zum Bewerten sowie medienwissenschaftlicher, soziologischer und linguistischer Studien zur Publikums- und Kunstkommunikation wird auf Basis von an zwei Theatern erhobenen Audiodaten aus einer gesprächsanalytischen Perspektive rekonstruiert, wie Bewertungen von den Beteiligten realisiert und ausgehandelt werden. Es wird zudem herausgearbeitet, welche Rolle das Bewerten für die Aneignung der in den Theaterstücken präsentierten Inhalte sowie für die Reflexion gesellschaftlicher Zusammenhänge und die eigene Alltagswirklichkeit spielt. Das Buch leistet damit einen Beitrag zum bisher kaum erforschten Gebiet der nicht-professionellen privaten Kommunikation über performative Kunst.

Handbook of Foreign Language Communication and Learning
The Handbooks of Applied Linguistics series is based on an understanding of Applied Linguistics as an inter- and transdisciplinary field of academic enquiry. Applied Linguistics deals with the theoretical and empirical investigation of real-world problems in which language and communication are a central issue. The Handbooks of Applied Linguistics provide a state-of-the-art description of established and emerging areas of Applied Linguistics. Each volume gives an overview of the field, identifies most important traditions and their findings, identifies the gaps in current research, and gives perspectives for future directions.
