The unique situation in which job seekers and employers find themselves results in the necessity to formulate and accept refusal letters. Employers frequently express their emotions in such letters. They are, however, in the form of clichés which apparently do not contain any genuine emotions. The subject of this analysis is genuine German refusal letters collected in the years between 2000 and 2012. Our objective is to indicate the types of emotions verbalized in the analyzed text type and to present the linguistic means utilized to express those emotions.
Ziel des vorliegenden Artikels ist die Analyse von Motivationsschreiben, einer Textsorte, die bei der Bewerbung um einen Masterstudienplatz oder um ein Stipendium häufig eingereicht werden muss. Anhand eines Korpus von 30 Motivationsschreiben, welche im Rahmen der Masterarbeit von November 2013 bis Mai 2014 gesammelt wurden, sollen die Relevanz, der Kommunikationskontext und die Textfunktionen der offenen Textsorte aufgezeigt werden.
The aim of this article is to systematize selected existing definitions of texts and, from the perspective of research into text comprehension, to compare and contextualize the most frequent concepts applied in the field. These concepts are used in the description of the basic phases and aspects of the text comprehension process; they may be divided into three groups depending on whether they denote the comprehension process itself, the results of this process, or the properties of text. This division should not be viewed as an immutable set of concepts, but rather as a starting point for research into issues of text comprehension and comprehensibility.
This article focuses on the roles of temporal adverbs in the linguistic expression of emotions. Emotions are phenomena which we experience subjectively, and which we are unable to grasp without respect to time. The intersubjective linguistic expression of emotions in the novel involves the use of temporal adverbs accompanying the narrative structure of the text and helping to intensify the expression of emotions.
In this paper, the author describes the use of the prepositions "laut", "zufolge" and "gemäß". These phrases are used exclusively when adopting parts of a text in another one. Thus, phrases with these prepositions are understood here as explicit intertextuality markers. Furthermore, the paper examines the nouns from these phrases, as well as some text-pretext relations arising from them.
This article is based on the observation that the linguistic expression of emotions has three basic categories: intensity, quality, and the temporal dimension. The latter category has not yet received sufficient attention from linguistic research. The article takes the example of contemporary theatrical texts to demonstrate the close correlation between the linguistic means used to express emotion and their temporal dimension. The analysis of the use of these means and their meaning in the given dramatic situation shows that temporality is a linguistic phenomenon which plays a key role in the linguistic expression of emotions in this type of text. It was also shown that the organization of a dramatic text – including an exposition phase or authorial notes – provides a suitable tool for the mediation of various temporal levels, the understanding of which plays an irreplaceable role in the total emotional potential of the text.
