Das Arzt-Patient-Gesprach wurde als das "Herz der Medizin" bezeichnet. Unbestritten ist die Bedeutung fur die Gesundung und das Wohlbefinden der Patientinnen und Patienten, aber auch der AErztinnen und AErzte selbst. Wie viel wissen wir uber Gesprachsverlaufe und Auswirkungen des sprachlichen Handelns von AErztinnen und AErzten? Diese Arbeit zeigt, mit welcher Methodik vielfaltige Befunde der Gesprachsforschung systematisch in einer ubergreifenden Synthese zusammengefuhrt werden koennen. Das Ergebnis zeigt sich als Entwurf einer Systematik des sprachlichen Handelns von AErztinnen und AErzten in neun Gesprachskomponenten, die in 46 Handlungstypen entfaltet werden. Die Fulle dokumentierter Gesprachsausschnitte und systemtheoretischer UEberlegungen macht das Buch zur Fundgrube fur Praxis, Lehre und weiterfuhrende Forschung.

Das Thema des Buches befasst sich mit diachronischer Syntaxforschung. Speziell geht es um klitische und nichtklitische Objektpronomen bei Infinitivkomplementen. Das Thema wird im Grenzbereich zwischen Morphologie und Syntax behandelt. Es wird der Frage nachgegangen, welche Rolle die klitischen Objektpronomen fur die Struktur von Infinitivkonstruktionen spielen. Die Infinitivkonstruktionen im Altfranzoesischen weisen eine systematisch andere Distribution als die im Altitalienischen auf. Insbesondere meidet das Altfranzoesische geradezu, Objektklitika mit Infinitiven zu kombinieren. Erst im Mittelfranzoesischen kommen Objektklitika regular bei Infinitiven vor. Damit beginnen die Infinitivkonstruktionen, eine vergleichbare Distribution aufzuweisen wie altitalienische Infinitivstrukturen. In diesem Buch wird dieses Phanomenbundel strukturtheoretisch im Rahmen der generativen Grammatik erklart.

UEber Sprechakte reden bedeutet fur Sprechakttheoretiker in der Regel uber Illokutionen reden. Seltsamerweise, denn sprechend zu wirken ist der wesentliche Antrieb fur verbale Kommunikation. Eine der interessantesten Fragen durfte doch wohl sein, wie Sprechende es schaffen, vermittels des Gesprochenen so zu wirken, wie sie wirken. Welches Bewirkungspotential haben AEusserungen? Um diese Frage beantworten zu koennen, muss man wissen, welche Wirkungen uberhaupt erzielt werden koennen. Dieses Wissen hat sich im Sprachschatz sedimentiert. Die grosse Anzahl einfacher Verben wie uberzeugen, uberreden oder uberraschen zur Bezeichnung von Akten mit Effekten lasst den hohen Stellenwert perlokutionarer Krafte im Deutschen erkennen. In dieser Arbeit wird mittels der Analyse der Vernetzung perlokutionarer Ausdrucke, des Systems der Querverweise in Bedeutungsangaben und Belegstellen, die lexikalische Struktur des Perlokutionaren freigelegt.

Trotz der allgemeinen Akzeptanz der Konstruktionsgrammatik fur die Beschreibung sprachlicher Phanomene im englischen und deutschen Sprachraum hat das Modell der Konstruktionsgrammatik bislang wenig Interesse in der Romanistik gefunden.
