U radu se analizira uloga deiktičkih obilježivača (markera) u generičkom strukturiranju diskursa. Najprije se podsjeća da u postojećim tipologijama žanrova diskursa prisutnost deiktičkih obilježivača i drugih tragova subjektivnosti predstavlja važan kriterij za razgraničenje žanrova koji koegzistiraju u određenom društveno-povijesnom okviru unutar određenog tipa diskursa i za deskripciju uvjeta njihove diversifikacije. Zatim se, na primjeru diskursa medijske informacije na čije generičko strukturiranje utječu različite strategije objektivizacije, nastoji pokazati da primjena tog kriterija dobiva svoj puni smisao tek u kombinaciji s kriterijima koji se odnose na tekstualna i situacijska obilježja relevantna za generičko strukturiranje diskursa, a to su, s jedne strane, komunikacijski ciljevi sudionika u interakciji i specifične diskurzivne aktivnosti koje oblikuju relacijski profil tekstualnih struktura i, s druge strane, složenost interakcijskog okvira i stupanj heterogenosti deiktičkih i polifonijskih struktura.
Článek poukazuje na enormnì variabilitu jazykových prostředků při sdělovánì odmìtnutì ņádosti uchazeče o pracovnì mìsto v německém jazyce. Analyzovaný korpus byl sestaven na základě 500 autentických textů tohoto druhu z let 2000-2004. Analýza je zaměřena na různé formy argumentace uņìvané zaměstnavateli v řečových aktech, které vyjadřujì negativnì odpovědi. Jazyková forma těchto sdělenì se často opakuje, přičemņ zaměstnavatelé volì zejména takový způsob argumentace, ve které nejsou zmiņovány kvalifikačnì nedostatky uchazeče, ale jiné důvody se snahou o zmìrněnì odmìtnutì.
Gespräche sind komplexe Formen sprachlichen Handelns, das sich unter bestimmten Bedingungen vollzieht und häufig von den Sprecher/inne/n auch kommentiert wird. Diese metakommunikativen Kommentare treten in sehr unterschiedliche Formen und Funktionen auf. In diesem Aufsatz werden Kommentare in der Form von Konditionalsätzen untersucht, mit denen die Sprecher/innen die Voraussetzungen unterschiedlicher Aspekte ihrer Äußerungen kommentieren.
Linguistic research and linguistic activism have resulted in key changes to official language use. However, revisions remain contested and many English and German speakers continue to employ male generic terms. In this article I explore whether the encounter with sex-/gender-neutral terminology in June Arnold's novel 'The Cook and the Carpenter' can prompt readers to review their language use and consider alternatives. Based on narrative research, my premise is that fiction can create familiarity with new terms, which is the first step toward wider linguistic change. I frame my investigation with Wittgenstein's notion that "to imagine a language means to imagine a form of life", and put it to the test with a discourse analysis of English and German reader responses. The results of my study show that Arnold's novel stimulates fruitful debate around the issue of linguistic representation. Based on my findings, I propose to integrate literary texts which engage with the issue of sex/gender and language into educational settings to further promote neutral/inclusive language use.
This paper deals with the development of discourse competence in German-, Russian- and Bulgarian-speaking children. In particular, it examines the use of anaphoric pronominal reference in elicited narrations of children between the ages of 2;6 and 6;0. As the pronominal (and nominal) systems of target German, Russian and Bulgarian differ in the repertoire and functions of anaphoric elements we will examine which kind of noun phrases children use to make reference to story participants. In a second step of the analysis, we will investigate how pronominal expressions relate to antecedents. In this respect the pronominal form of the anaphor, the syntactic function of the antecedent and the distance between antecedent and anaphor will be analyzed. The findings will be discussed with regard to predictions made by proposals such as the Complementary Hypothesis (Bosch, Rozario, and Zhao 2003) which assumes an asymmetry between the use of personal pro-nouns and demonstrative pronouns when referring back to subject or object antecedents.
Die vorliegende Arbeit beschäftigt sich mit der Untersuchung der Struktur des Diskurses. Dabei dient ein Korpus gesprochener spanischer Texte als Grundlage. Als Schwerpunkt dieser Arbeit gilt die Unterscheidung von zwei verschiedenen Typen von Diskurseinheiten: der Parenthese und des Einschubs. Diese zwei Typen werden grundsätzlich durch ihre Stellung innerhalb der gesamten Struktur des Diskurses und durch ihre Beziehung zu anderen Diskursteilen definiert. Parenthese und Einschub werden als Unterbrechung einer bestimmten Struktur bzw. als Einschaltung in andere Diskurseinheiten gekennzeichnet. Beide Einheiten sollen als unterschiedliche Ausprägungen des Phänomens der Unterbrechung beschrieben werden. Ferner soll untersucht werden, ob Parenthesen und Einschübe Haupt- oder Nebeninformationen ausdrücken. Dadurch wird sich herausstellen, daß diese Typen von Diskurseinheiten immer Nebeninformationen enthalten, so daß sie als besondere Formen der Nebenprädikation im Diskurs gekennzeichnet werden können. Folglich beschäftigt sich diese Arbeit auch mit der Klassifizierung der Nebenprädikationen, da gezeigt wird, welche Typen struktureller Einheiten die Nebeninformationen im Diskurs darstellen können. Weiterhin soll untersucht werden, welche kommunikativen Sprecherintentionen Parenthesen und Einschüben zugrunde liegen. Innerhalb dieser pragmatischen Klassifizierung soll ein bestimmter Untertyp von Parenthesen und Einschüben aufgrund seiner spezifischen kommunikativen Funktion als Kommentar abgegrenzt werden. Zum Schluß soll auf den Zusammenhang zwischen Parenthesen, Einschüben und Diskurspartikeln im Spanischen eingegangen werden.
The Multilingual Assessment Instrument for Narratives (MAIN) was designed in order to assess narrative skills in children who acquire one or more languages from birth or from early age. MAIN is suitable for children from 3 to 10 years and evaluates both comprehension and production of narratives. Its design allows for the assessment of several languages in the same child, as well as for different elicitation modes: Model Story, Retelling, and Telling. MAIN contains four parallel stories, each with a carefully designed six-picture sequence. The stories are controlled for cognitive and linguistic complexity, parallelism in macrostructure and microstructure, as well as for cultural appropriateness and robustness. The instrument has been developed on the basis of extensive piloting with more than 550 monolingual and bilingual children aged 3 to 10, for 15 different languages and language combinations. Even though MAIN has not been norm-referenced yet, its standardized procedures can be used for evaluation, intervention and research purposes. MAIN is currently available in the following languages: English, Afrikaans, Albanian, Basque, Bulgarian, Croatian, Cypriot Greek, Danish, Dutch, Estonian, Finnish, French, German, Greek, Hebrew, Icelandic, Italian, Lithuanian, Norwegian, Polish, Russian, Spanish, Standard Arabic, Swedish, Turkish, Vietnamese, and Welsh.
