In a recent contribution to a long-standing discussion in semantics as to whether the neo-Davidsonian analysis should be extended to stative predicates or not, Maienborn (2004, 2005) proposes to distinguish two types of statives; one of them is said to have a referential argument of the Davidsonian type, the other not. As one of her arguments for making such a distinction, Maienborn observes that manner modification seems to be supported only by certain statives but to be excluded by others (thus linking the issue to the use of manner modification as one major argument in favour of event semantics, cf. Parsons 1990). In this paper, it is argued that the absence of manner modification with Maienborn's second group of statives is actually due to a failure of conceptual construal: modification of a predicate is ruled out whenever its internal conceptual structure is too poor to provide a construal for the modifier; hence, the effects observed by Maienborn reduce to the fact that eventive predicates have a more complex conceptual substructure than stative ones. Hence, the issue of manner modification with statives is shown to be orthogonal to questions of logical form and event semantics. The explanatory power of the conceptual approach is demonstrated with a case study on predicates of light emission, adapting the representation format of Barsalou's (1992) frame model.
We present the results of an experimental study which targets prosodic correlates of subclausal quotation marks. We found that written sentences containing passages enclosed by quotation marks were read aloud in a manner that significantly differs in prosody from spoken realizations of corresponding disquoted counterparts. However, we also observed that such prosodic marking of subclausal quotation wasn't strong enough to survive subsequent back-translation into written language: there was no correlation between the presence/absence of quotation marks in the original written examples, and the presence/absence of quotation marks in corresponding back-translations from oral renditions. We investigated three different kinds of uses of quotation marks and found no systematic difference between them with respect to prosodic marking.
Rate effects on aerodynamics of intervocalic stops : evidence from real speech data and model data
(2008)
This paper is a first attempt towards a better understanding of the aerodynamic properties during speech production and their potential control. In recent years, studies on intraoral pressure in speech have been rather rare, and more studies concern the air flow development. However, the intraoral pressure is a crucial factor for analysing the production of various sounds.
In this paper, we focus on the intraoral pressure development during the production of intervocalic stops.
Two experimental methodologies are presented and confronted with each other: real speech data recorded for four German native speakers, and model data, obtained by a mechanical replica which allows reproducing the main physical mechanisms occurring during phonation. The two methods are presented and applied to a study on the influence of speech rate on aerodynamic properties.
The unfolding discussion will focus on the internal representation of turbulent sounds in the phonology of German as well as pinpoint the special status of the prime defining the quality of turbulence. It will also be argued that this prime is capable of entering into special types of licensing relations, which results in specific phonetic manifestations of forms. We shall compare the effects of two processes attested in German: consonant degemination and spirantisation with a view to revealing the role of the turbulence-defining element in the two operations. Furthermore, our attention will be focused on the workings of the Obligatory Contour Principle which, as will be shown below, exerts decisive impact on prime interplay and consequently the phonetic realization of sounds and words. We shall see that segmental identity is contingent on the languagespecific interpretation of inter-element bonds.
Aware of the importance of prime autonomy in determining the manifestation of sounds, let us start with a brief outline of the fundamental segment structure principles offered by the theory of Phonological Government.
Glottal marking of vowel-initial German words by glottalization and glottal stop insertion were investigated in dependence on speech rate, word type (content vs. function words), word accent, phrasal position and the following vowel. The analysed material consisted of speeches of Konrad Adenauer, Thomas Mann and Richard von Weizsäcker. The investigation shows that not only the left boundary of accented syllables (including phrasal stress boundary) and lexical words favour glottal stops/glottalization, but also that the segmental level appears to have a strong impact on these insertion processes. Specifically, the results show that low vowels in contrast to non-low ones favour glottal stops/glottalization even before non-accented syllables and functional words.
Syllable cut is said to be a phonologically distinctive feature in some languages where the difference in vowel quantity is accompanied by a difference in vowel quality like in German. There have been several attempts to find the corresponding phonetic correlates for syllable cut, from which the energy measurements of vowels by Spiekermann (2000) proved appropriate for explaining the difference between long, i.e. smoothly, and short, i.e. abruptly cut, vowels: in smoothly cut vowels, a larger number of peaks was counted in the energy contour which were located further back than in abruptly cut segments, and the overall energy was more constant throughout the entire nucleus. On this basis, we intended to compare German as a syllable cut language and Hungarian where the feature was not expected to be relevant. However, the phonetic correlates of syllable cut found in this study do not entirely confirm Spiekermann's results. It seems that the energy features of vowels are more strongly connected to their duration than to their quality.
This study reports on the results of an airflow experiment that measured the duration of airflow and the amount of air from release of a stop to the beginning of a following vowel in stop vowel-sequences of German. The sequences involved coronal, labial and velar voiced and voiceless stops followed by the vocoids /j, i:, ı, ɛ, ʊ, a/. The experiment tested the influence of the three factors voicing of stop, place of stop articulation, and the following vocoid context on the duration and amount of air as possible explanation for assibilation processes. The results show that the voiceless stops are related to a longer duration and more air in the release phase than voiced ones. For the influence of the vocoids, a significant difference could be established between /j/ and all other vocoids for the duration of the release phase. This difference could not be found for the amount of air over this duration. The place of articulation had only restricted influence. Velars resulted in significantly longer duration of the release phase compared to non-velars. A significant difference in amount of air between the places of articulation could not be found.
The present article is a follow-up study of the investigation of labiodentals in German and Dutch by Hamann & Sennema (2005), where we looked at the perception of the Dutch labiodental three-way contrast by German listeners without any knowledge of Dutch and German learners of Dutch. The results of this previous study suggested that the German voiced labiodental fricative /v/ is perceptually closer to the Dutch approximant /ʋ/ than to the corresponding Dutch voiced labiodental fricative /v/. These perceptual indications are attested by the acoustic findings in the present study. German /v/ has a similar harmonicity median and a similar centre of gravity to Dutch /ʋ/, but differs from Dutch /v/ in these parameters. With respect to the acoustic parameter of duration, German /v/ lies closer to the Dutch /v/ than to the Dutch /ʋ/.
It is the aim of this paper to evaluate the various types of sentential complementation available in terms of complement control cross-linguistically. I will propose a lexical classification of control classes on the basis of the instantiated subordination patterns. I want to focus on an important distinction, namely that of structural vs. inherent control. Structural control is found with predicates that select a clausal complement whose structure requires argument identification and thus 'induces' control. Infinitival complements are prototypical cases for this kind of control because in most languages infinitival complements can only 'survive' in structures of control or raising. The interesting question is which predicates license structural control and which cross-linguistic differences emerge between potential licensors. Inherent control is found with predicates that require control readings independent of the instantiated structure of sentential complementation (e.g. a directive predicate such as zwingen 'force'). In addition, I will recapitulate and add arguments for the dual lexical-syntactic nature of complement control.
This questionnaire focuses on control structures that are instantiated by predicates that take a state of affairs (SOA) argument. Noonan (1985) has called these predicates 'complement-taking predicates'; I will use the notion of SOAAtaking predicates (SOAA = state of affairs argument).
Prototypically, complement control is instantiated by certain classes of verbs; however, adjectives (be eager to) and nouns (e.g. nominalizations such as promise) may function as control predicates as well. 'Control' refers to the pattern of argument identification between an argument of the SOAA-taking predicate and an argument of the SOAA-head. In the literature the notion of 'equi deletion' or 'equi-NP deletion' has been used (following Rosenbaum 1967), which refers to structures in which an overt argument of the matrix predicate is identified with a covert argument of the embedded predicate. This questionnaire aims at a cross-linguistic application of the notion of control and thus uses a semantic definition of complement control. It extends the notion of control to other patterns of referential dependency between arguments of a SOAA-taking predicate and of the embedded predicate.
In anaphora resolution theory, it has been assumed that anaphora resolution is based on a reversed mapping of antecedent salience and anaphora complexity: minimal complex anaphora refer to maximal salient antecedents. In order to ex-amine whether and by which developmental steps German children gain command of this mapping maxim we conducted an experiment on production and comprehension of intersentential pronouns including the three pronoun types zero, personal, and demonstrative pronoun. With respect to antecedent salience, the experiment varied syntactic role (subject/object) and in/animacy. Six age groups of children (age range from 2;0 to 6;0) and an adult control group has been tested. The hypothesis arising from the mapping maxim is that zero pronoun correlates with more salient antecedents than personal and demonstrative pronoun, the latter correlating with the least salient antecedents. The results are: In production, children first establish the opposition of zero pronoun with animate antecedents vs. demonstrative pronoun with inanimate antecedents. In a next step, syntactic role comes into play and a more complex system opposing the three presented pronoun types is established. In comprehension, however, the effect of pronoun type re-mains weak and antecedent features remain a strong factor in reference choice. However, also adults employ pronoun type and antecedent features. The oldest children and the adults show variation in personal pronoun resolution according to the animacy pattern of the potential antecedents. In case of identical animacy features, the subject is the preferred candidate; in case of distinct animacy features, there is a tendency to choose the object antecedent.
Der Beitrag referiert Ergebnisse eines mit Erwachsenen durchgeführten Experiments zum Verständnis des bestimmten Artikels. Das Testmaterial entstammt einem für Kinder konzipierten Blickpräferenzexperiment. Die Durchführung des Tests mit Erwachsenen diente als Kontrolle der Verwendbarkeit der Materialien und der Überprüfung folgender Hypothese: Die referentielle Grundfunktion des Artikels besteht im Verweis auf begrenzte Ganze bzw. einen bestimmten (=begrenzten) Umfang einer Entität. Der interessante Aspekt des Experiments war, dass die Entscheidung zwischen [+begrenzt] vs. [-begrenzt] innerhalb einer pluralischen Kondition fallen musste, die Begrenztheitslesart wurde also nicht durch einzahlig auftretende zählbare Objekte erzeugt. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass die pluralische Kondition sich auf das Antwortverhalten der Probanden auswirkte. Probanden mit durchschnittlich längerer Reaktionszeit entscheiden sich anders als Probanden mit vergleichsweise kurzer Reaktionszeit. Während von der Gruppe mit spontanerem Entscheidungsverhalten die Hypothese im Hinblick auf den Artikel bestätigt wurde, scheint sich die Gruppe mit höheren Reaktionszeiten für das prototypischere Bild innerhalb der Pluralkondition zu entscheiden.
This paper presents psycholinguistic evidence on the factors governing the resolution of German personal pronouns. To determine the relative influence of linear order versus grammatical function of potential antecedents, two interpretation-preference tasks were designed. Their specific aim was to disentangle salience factors conflated in previous research on pronoun interpretation, such as linear or-der, first mention and topicalization. Experiment 1 tested pronoun resolution to non-sentence-initial position (scrambling) and Experiment 2 tested pronoun resolution to sentence-initial position (topicalization). The results across different verb types and across different syntactic contexts in Experiments 1 and 2 show that grammatical function, yet neither linear order, first mention nor topicalization predicts pronoun resolution in German.
The German causal preposition durch ('by', 'through') poses a challenge to formal-semantic analyses applying strict compositionality. To deal with this challenge, a formalism which builds on recent important developments in Discourse Representation Theory is developed, including a more elaborate analysis of presuppositional phenomena as well as the integration into the theory of unification as a mode of composition. It is argued that that the observed unificational phenomena belong in the realm of pragmatics, providing an argument for presuppositional phenomena at a sentence- and word-internal level.
This paper presents two experimental studies investigating the processing of presupposed content. Both studies employ the German additive particle auch (too). In the first study, participants were given a questionnaire containing bi-clausal, ambiguous sentences with 'auch' in the second clause. The presupposition introduced by auch was only satisfied on one of the two readings of the sentence, and this reading corresponded to a syntactically dispreferred parse of the sentence. The prospect of having the auch-presupposition satisfied made participants choose this syntactically dispreferred reading more frequently than in a control condition. The second study used the self-paced-reading paradigm and compared the reading times on clauses containing auch, which differed in whether the presupposition of auch was satisfied or not. Participants read the clause more slowly when the presupposition was not satisfied. It is argued that the two studies show that presuppositions play an important role in online sentence comprehension and affect the choice of syntactic analysis. Some theoretical implications of these findings for semantic theory and dynamic accounts of presuppositions as well as for theories of semantic processing are discussed.
This study examines articulatory and acoustic inter-speaker variability in the production of the German vowels /i/, /u/ and /a/. Our subjects are 3 monozygotic twin pairs (2 female and 1 male pair) and 2 dizygotic female twin pairs. All of them were born, raised and are still living in Berlin and see their twin brother or sister regularly. We assume that monozygotic twins that are genetically identical and share the same physiology should be more similar in their articulation than dizygotic twins but that the shared time and social environment of twins, regardless of their genetic similarity, also plays a crucial role in the acoustic similarity of twins. Articulatory measurements were made with EMA (Electromagnetic Articulography) and the target positions of the produced vowels were analyzed. Additionally, the formants F1-F4 of each vowel were measured and compared within the twin pairs. Our data seems to point out the importance of a shared environment and the strong influence of learning over the anatomical identity of the monozygotic twins regarding the production of vowels. But, additional results suggest (1) the impact of physiology on the production of a vowel following a velar consonant and (2) the interaction of physiology and stress in inter-speaker variability.
Der Titel dieses Beitrags variiert den berühmten Titel eines der Hauptwerke Nietzsches "Also sprach Zarathrustra". In seiner englischen Übersetzung lautet der Titel meist wie folgt: "Thus spoke (spake) Zarathrustra". Thus kennzeichnet Konklusivität, eine Schlussfolgerung aus einem zuvor genannten Umstand oder Sachverhalt. Das englische also, in seiner Schreibung dem deutschen also identisch, beinhaltet semantisch keine Konklusivität, sondern drückt Additivität aus. Der formgleiche Konnektor ist also (!) semantisch unterschiedlich im Deutschen und Englischen. Um diesen Unterschied und seine Bedeutung für türkische DaF-Lerner soll es im folgenden Artikel gehen.
Wie bekannt, besitzt neben der literarischen Übersetzung auch die fachsprachliche Übertragung einen wichtigen Platz in der übersetzungswissenschaftlichen Forschung. In Rahmen des Themas Übersetzung und Bearbeitung soll in diesem Beitrag festgestellt werden, welche satzstrukturelle Abwandlungen das neue Strafgesetzbuch der Türkei (YTCK) vollzogen hat.
Ortak ve Suni dil üzerine
(2013)
Ortak ve Suni dilin ayrıştığı nokta bir toplum içerisinde bireylerin sağlıklı iletişim kuramamaları sonucu birbirlerini anlamadıkları ve iletişimin abartılı bir durumda değerlendirilmesidir. Bireyler arasında sağlıklı iletişimin sağlanması, aralarında ihtilafın giderilmesi gibi konular dilbilimcilerin başlıca araştırma alanlarını oluşturmaktadır. Diğer bir ifade ile yapay dil ile ortak bir dilin amaçlanması, geliştirilmesi 16.y.y. dan itibaren günümüze değin sürdürülmüştür. Ne var ki konuyu sadece art zamanlı olarak değerlendirmek yerine, aynı toplum içerisinde eş zamanlı olarak nasıl irdelenebilir? Zira ortak dilin "evrensel" bir dil olduğu varsayımından hareketle aynı toplum içerisinde, iletişimin genellikle "yapay" bir dille gerçekleştiği savını da öne sürebiliriz. Bir toplum içerisinde ortak dile ulaşmanın yolu analiz-sentez yolu ile kavrama kültürünün doğru orantılı olmasıdır.
Es handelt sich fast um einen sprachhistorischen Topos, wenn davon die Rede ist, dass sich das Deutsche von einer synthetischen zu einer analytischen Sprache entwickelt habe, oder zumindest zu einer analytischeren - oft hat man das Englische im Blick, das den isolierenden Sprachen nahestehen soll. Die Darstellungen zur deutschen Sprachgeschichte sind voll von diesem Topos, und anscheinend ist dieses Konzept intuitiv so eingängig, dass kaum hinterfragt wird, was man denn genau unter synthetischen bzw. analytischen Strukturen zu verstehen habe.
Die Idee, das Isländische - eine archaische, am Nordwestrand des germanischen Sprachgebiets gelegene skandinavische Inselsprache - auf die Möglichkeiten des Sexusausdrucks hin zu untersuchen, entstand imZusammenhang einer kontrastiven Arbeit zum Sexusausdruck im Deutschen und Schwedischen (siehe Nübling 2000). Das Schwedische verfügt nur noch über zwei Genera, das sog. Utrum (das aus dem Zusammenfall von Femininum und Maskulinum hervorgeht) und das Neutrum.
Those principles of Naturalness as postulated by Mayerthaler (1981) claim to make predtictions about the direction of language change possible. It is true that the majority of morphological changes can be accounted for by these principles. However, systematic violations of these rules can be found in of all things, some of most frequent, elementary verbs such as HAVE, BE, BECOME, COME, GO, GIVE, TAKE, etc. Their irregularities cannot be accounted for solely - as Naturalness Theory would have it - by conflicts between phonological and morphological Naturalness. Rather, they have been systematically built up through other efficient strategies. This "regularity of irregularity" is the focus of this paper, which demonstrates several particularly well-beaten paths to irregularization through contrastive diachronic investigations of frequent verbs in different Germanic languages. lrregularity, a term laden with negative connotations, is substituted by the term differentiation, which names the actual function directly. Because differentiation typically correlates with word brevity, this constellation should be considered an ideal compromise between hearer and speaker interests. A further question to be addressed is which individual categories are expressed through irregularization. It is concluded that this process is guided by token frequency and degree of relevance.
"Den Frauen", schreibt Otto Weininger 1903 in Geschlecht und Charakter, "ist zwar die Gabe der Sprache, aber nicht so die der Rede verliehen; eine Frau konversiert (kokettiert), oder schnattert, aber sie redet nicht." Diese Ab- und Ausgrenzung 'weiblicher' Redeformen von der ernsthaften 'männlichen' Rede provoziert die Frage nach dem Verhältnis von Rhetorik und Geschlecht dem sich ein an der Universität Münster arbeitendes Forschungsprojekt unter der Überschrift "Weibliche Rede - Rhetorik der Weiblichkeit" widmet.
Im Juni 2001, wenige Wochen vor der Tagung, die dieser Band dokumentiert, traten im deutschen Fernsehen zwei Frauen auf, deren Zusammentreffen bereits Wochen zuvor von den Medien intensiv vorbereitet und kommentiert worden war. Auf ein »TV-Duell« der besonderen Art hatte man die ZuschauerInnen eingestimmt, die ihr Interesse denn auch durch hohe Einschaltquoten bekundeten. Was machte die Begegnung von Alice Schwarzer und Verona Feldbusch in einer Talkshow zu einem solchen Medienereignis? Was stand in diesem Duell auf dem Spiel, in dem es offensichtlich nicht um die Entscheidung für oder gegen eine Regierung ging wie etwa in dem ebenfalls traditionell als Duell inszenierten amerikanischen Präsidentschaftswahlkampf oder in den nach diesem Vorbild auch in Deutschland erstmals veranstalteten TV-Duellen zwischen Gerhard Schröder und Edmund Stoiber vor der Bundestagswahl 2002?
Chatten online
(2006)
Aus linguistischer Sicht besteht die "kommunikationsgeschichtliche Novität" des Chattens darin, dass Schrift „für die situationsgebundene, direkte und simultane Kommunikation" verwendet wird (Storrer 2001: 462), ohne in einem "systematischen Verhältnis zu einer vorgängigen oder nachträglichen Oralisierung" zu stehen (ebd.). Dabei ist natürlich auch von Interesse, wie die Teilnehmer des Chats miteinander Kontakt herstellen und mit welcher kommunikativen Grundhaltung die Äußerungen im Chat produziert und rezipiert werden (vgl. Beißwenger 2000: 39f.). Unter den Vorzeichen einer dezidiert medialen Fragestellung müssen darüber hinaus die performativen Übertragungs- und Verkörperungsbedingungen des Chats thematisiert werden (vgl. Wirth 2002a: 44).
What is abductive inference?
(2002)
Abductive reasoning: constitutes according to Peirce the "first stage" of scientific inquiries (CP 6.469) and of any interpretive processes. "Abduction" is the process of adopting an explanatory hypothesis (CP 5.145) and covers two operations: the selection and the formation of plausible hypotheses. As process of finding premisses, it is the basis of interpretive reconstruction of causes and intentions, as well as of inventive construction of theories.
Wie hängen die verschiedenen Verwendungsweisen eines sprachlichen Ausdrucks miteinander zusammen? Diese Kernfrage der lexikalischen Semantik war schon immer ein praktisches Problem der Lexikographie und ein theoretisches Zentralthema der traditionellen Semasiologie (vgl. Paul 1894, 68ff.). In der neueren Semantik stand dieses theoretische Problem längere Zeit nicht im Vordergrund der Diskussion. Eine gewisse Stagnation in dieser Frage mag auf linguistischer Seite bedingt gewesen sein durch methodische Vorgaben strukturalistischer Bedeutungsauffassungen (vgl. Lyons 1977, 553; Heringer 1981, 109ff.) und auf philosophischer Seite u.a. durch das notorische Desinteresse der wahrheitsfunktionalen Semantik an lexikalischen Fragen.
Hundsnurscher (1996) hat mit einer umfangreichen Liste von Beispielen für Verwendungsmöglichkeiten des Verbs ziehen auf das bemerkenswerte Bedeutungsspektrum dieses Verbs aufmerksam gemacht und auch schon wichtige Hinweise auf Zusammenhänge zwischen diesen Verwendungsweisen gegeben. Der vorliegende Beitrag ist ein Gegenstück zu meiner Untersuchung des Verwendungsspektrums von schar/in Fritz (1995). Dort bin ich näher auf den bedeutungstheoretischen Status des Begriffs der Verwendungsweise und auf Probleme und Methoden der Unterscheidung von Verwendungsweisen eingegangen, so dass ich im vorliegenden Beitrag die dort explizierten theoretischen und methodischen Annahmen nur andeuten will (vgl. auch Fritz 1998, Ilff.).
Geschichte von Dialogformen
(1994)
Die Forschungslage zur Geschichte von Dialogformen muß differenziert beurteilt werden. Einerseits gibt es vielfältig verstreute Arbeiten zu einzelnen historischen Dialogen und Dialogformen, vor allem aus den Bereichen der Literaturgeschichte, der Rhetorikgeschichte und der Philosophiegeschichte. Diese sind aber kaum systematisch erfaßt, so daß es schwierig ist, einen allgemeinen Überblick über den Stand der Forschung in diesem Sektor zu gewinnen.
The study of what makes utterances difficult or easy to understand is one of the central topics of research in comprehension. It is both theoretically attractive and useful in practice. The more we know about difficulties in understanding the more we know about understanding. And the better we grasp typical problems of understanding in certain types of discourse and for certain recipients the better we can overcome these problems and the better we can advise people whose job it is to overcome such problems. It is therefore not surprising that comprehensibility has been the object of much reflection as far back as the days of classical rhetoric and that it is a center of lively interest in several present-day scientific disciplines, ranging from artificial intelligence and educational psychology to linguistics.
Die Hauptaufgabe einer Dialogtheorie ist die Beantwortung der folgenden Frage: Worin besteht die Fähigkeit von Dialogteilnehmern, Dialogzusammenhänge zu produzieren und zu verstehen? So einfach und selbstverständlich das dialogische Reden oft praktiziert wird, so komplex erscheinen dem Analysierenden die Mittel und Organisationsprinzipien, deren sich die Sprechenden bedienen, um in zusammenhängender Rede ihre kommunikativen Ziele zu verfolgen. Sie verwenden bestimmte Satzformen und Intonationsmuster , um hervorzuheben, worum es ihnen gerade besonders geht; sie benutzen bestimmte syntaktische und lexikalische Mittel, um Verknüpfungen zwischen Teilen längerer Äußerungen zu verdeutlichen; sie bereiten die Bezugnahme auf Gegenstände des Gesprächs vor, indem sie notwendiges Wissen sichern; sie entfernen sich in kleinen Schritten, fast unmerklich, von einem Hauptthema und steuern ein anderes an; sie kontrollieren ihre eigenen Dialogbeiträge und die ihrer Dialogpartner auf Relevanz und auf Widersprüche hin; sie klären Mißverständnisse auf; sie wählen aus alternativen Reaktionsmöglichkeiten virtuos diejenigen aus, die ihre Ziele zu fördern versprechen. Manchmal mißlingen allerdings auch Teile dieser komplexen Aktivität.
Formale Dialogspieltheorien
(1994)
Das Feld der Dialoganalyse umfaßt sehr unterschiedliche theoretische und methodische Ansätze, von der hermeneutischen Erschließung eines bestimmten Einzeldialogs über die quantitative Analyse bestimmter Typen von Dialogverläufen und die systematische Analyse der Grundstrukturen von Dialogformen bis hin zur formalen Theorie eines bestimmten Fragments einer Dialogform. Diese unterschiedlichen Ansätze können miteinander durchaus verträglich sein, insofern als sie unterschiedliche Aspekte des dialogischen Redens zum Gegenstand haben oder unterschiedliche Reichweite beanspruchen. Die in den bisherigen Artikeln dieses Handbuchs behandelten dialoganalytischen Ansätze erheben alle den Anspruch auf Systematizität der Analyse, sind aber keine formalen Theorien im strengen Sinne. Das heißt allerdings nicht, daß sie nicht formalisierbar sind, wie etwa die Formalisierung der Sprechakttheorie in Searle/ Vanderveken (1985) und die formale Beschreibungssprache für Handlungen in Heringer (1974) zeigen.
Coreference in dialogue
(1997)
Since the early days of discourse analysis coreference has always been considered a major factor in the formation of texts and dialogues. The repetition of nominal elements and the anaphoric use of pronouns in successive sentences is a fundamental cohesive pattern which ties sentences together and contributes to the coherence of sequences. "La coherence transphrastique trouve dans la pronominalisation un des procedes les plus efficaces" (Stati 1990, 160). The basic structural pattern on which linguists focused their interest in the early 1970s is captured by the following examples: (1) A man entered the house. After closing the door, the man sat down. He was tired. (2) Peter The man entered the house. He was tired. He ...
