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.
This article focuses on the means of expressing emotionality in internet commentaries written in German and Czech; the commentaries consist of reactions to news items on political topics. The author applies a contrastive approach. Politics is a field holding a strong potential for emotionality, which significantly affects text production. Internet commentaries in German and Czech are characterized by the use of verbal and non-verbal means that are typical of "cyberslang". The article also focuses on emotional nomination (of politicians and parties), offers a comparison of the cognitive concepts underlying this nomination in both languages, and examines the means of expressing the emotion "anger" - which is closely related to politics.
