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.
The Legacy of Kurt Schütte
This book on proof theory centers around the legacy of Kurt Schütte and its current impact on the subject. Schütte was the last doctoral student of David Hilbert who was the first to see that proofs can be viewed as structured mathematical objects amenable to investigation by mathematical methods (metamathematics). Schütte inaugurated the important paradigm shift from finite proofs to infinite proofs and developed the mathematical tools for their analysis. Infinitary proof theory flourished in his hands in the 1960s, culminating in the famous bound Γ0 for the limit of predicative mathematics (a fame shared with Feferman). Later his interests shifted to developing infinite proof calculi f...
(In)Appropriate Online Behavior
This descriptive and comprehensive study on the discursive struggle over interpersonal relations in online message boards is located at the fascinating interface of pragmatics and computer-mediated discourse a research area which has so far not attracted much scientific interest. It sets out to shed light on the question how interpersonal relations are established, managed and negotiated in online message boards by giving a valid overview of the entire panoply of interpersonal relations (and their interrelations), including both positively and negatively marked behavior. With the first part of the book providing an in-depth discussion and refinement of the pivotal theoretical positions of both fields of research, students as well as professionals are (re-)acquainted with the subject at hand. Thus supplying a framework for the ensuing case study, the empirical part displays the results of the analysis of 50 threads (ca. 300,000 words) of a popular British message board.
Staging Language
Although there are many studies on linguistic variation as it relates to both "traditional" and "new" media such as film, TV, newspapers, and online behavior, little has been written about spoken performance in overt but face-to-face conversations. This book bridges that gap, and focuses on an "in between" zone between casual face-to-face conversations and the type of heavily scripted language of most traditional spoken media. The book draws upon a substantial amount of empirical data in its investigation of the role played by performance texts in creating, maintaining and challenging imagined communities and focuses upon the ways in which performance contributes to people's sense of the kinds of use for which dialect/variational use is appropriate and those for which it is not. It sheds light on how such stylization intersects with multiple social indexes and how performers and other creative artists challenge and mock hegemonic practices through enregistering a defined set of linguistic variables in the context of their performance and other associated written texts.
Analysing Citizenship Talk
Citizenship talk refers to various types of discourse initiated to make citizens take part in politically and socially contested decision-making processes ('citizen participation'). 'Citizenship' has, accordingly, become one of the dazzling key words whenever the democratic deficit of modern societies is moaned about. Asking for citizenship to be conceived of as a communicative achievement, the present book shows that sociolinguistics and pragmatics can essentially contribute to this interdisciplinary up-to-date issue of research: the volume offers a theoretically innovative concept of communicated citizenship and it presents a set of methodological approaches suited to deal with this concep...
Deutsch von außen
Wie erscheint die deutsche Sprache im Vergleich zu anderen Sprachen? Welche Rolle hat Deutsch als akademischer Lehr- und Forschungsgegenstand im anderssprachigen Ausland? Es sind Germanisten aus anderssprachigen Ländern und einige 'Binnengermanisten', die diesen Fragen nach aktuellen und tradierten Außenansichten der deutschen Sprache nachgehen. In den Beiträgen werden Außenansichten des Deutschen unter den folgenden Aspekten behandelt Deutsch im Kontrast zu anderen Sprachen Typologische Merkmale des Deutschen im europäischen Vergleich Schwierigkeiten und Vorzüge des Deutschen aus der Sicht anderer Sprachen Kuriositäten der deutschen Sprache aus der Außenansicht Meinungen und stereotype Einstellungen zum Deutschen in verschiedenen Ländern Motive und Ziele von Germanistik und Deutschunterricht im anderssprachigen Ausland
L’œuvre de Lucien Tesnière
Efficient, simple, and empirically grounded, Lucien Tesnière’s principles of structural syntax have remained to this day very popular among linguists. Far beyond the field of syntax itself, the Elements of Structural Syntax have found lasting echo in all branches of linguistics. This volume offers a contemporary appraisal of Tesnière’s legacy.
Prosody in Interaction
Prosody is constitutive for spoken interaction. In more than 25 years, its study has grown into a full-fledged and very productive field with a sound catalogue of research methods and principles. This volume presents the state of the art, illustrates current research trends and uncovers potential directions for future research. It will therefore be of major interest to everyone studying spoken interaction. The collection brings together an impressive range of internationally renowned scholars from different, yet closely related and compatible research traditions which have made a significant contribution to the field. They cover issues such as the units of language, the contextualization of actions and activities, conversational modalities and genres, the display of affect and emotion, the multimodality of interaction, language acquisition and aphasia. All contributions are based on empirical, audio- and/or video-recorded data of natural talk-in-interaction, including languages such as English, German and Japanese. The methodologies employed come from Ethnomethodology, Conversation Analysis and Interactional Linguistics.
Narrative Revisited
Revised papers originally presented at the "International Conference on Narrative Revisited: Telling a Story in the Age of New Media," held in July 2007, and sponsored by the Department of English Linguistics at the University of Augsburg, in honor of WolframBublitz .
Sprachhandeln und Sprachwissen
Am Beispiel der „Nicht-finiten Prädikationskonstruktion“ (z.B. „Ich und aufgeben?“) wird der Versuch unternommen, ausgehend von den alltagssprachlichen Formen und Funktionen einer grammatischen Konstruktion zu einem Modell ihrer Repräsentation im Sprachgebrauchswissen zu gelangen. Die Hauptdatengrundlage der Untersuchung bilden alltagssprachliche Beispiele aus dem Usenet und aus Foren. Im Anschluss an die Diskussion des Forschungsstands werden in Auseinandersetzung mit kognitions- und interaktionslinguistischen, aber auch zeichentheoretischen Positionen die theoretischen und methodologischen Konzepte herausgearbeitet, die für die Untersuchung der „Nicht-finiten Prädikationskons...
