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.

This book is an educational manual featuring guidelines of spoken communication in medicine giving practical advice on how to convey a scientific message. As there are specific techniques in medical publishing, there are specific techniques in spoken communication in medicine. Different forms of spoken communication are described: informal communication, conference, staff meetings, student courses, are addressed not only from the point of view of the speaker, but also from the session moderator, or in public gatherings in the form of a question or comment. The medical 'public' ranges from the student to the instructor, and the practitioner to the researcher.

Das Thema dieser Arbeit ist die Angleichung oder Nichtangleichung (Akkommodation) verbaler und gestischer Metaphern zwischen Patient und Therapeut in der Psychotherapie. Den theoretischen Ausgangspunkt bildet ein kognitiv-linguistischer Ansatz: Unsere Wahrnehmung von der Welt, wie wir denken und handeln, wie wir uns auf andere beziehen oder uns anderen gegenuber ausdrucken - das alles beruht auf metaphorischen Konzepten. Die Autorin stellt vorerst die theoretischen Grundlagen vor und wendet die Theorie schliesslich praktisch an, indem sie ein Fallbeispiel gesprachsanalytisch untersucht. Als Fallbeispiel dient die Langzeitpsychotherapie einer Patientin mit einer Borderline-Problematik. Sechs audiovisuell aufgezeichnete Therapiestunden aus dem Beginn, dem mittleren Teil und dem Ende der Therapie werden im vorliegenden Band metaphernanalytisch untersucht. Zusatzlich fuhrt die Autorin bei einzelnen auffalligen Sequenzen eine gestische Metaphernanalyse durch. Die Arbeit liefert einen Beitrag an die Grundlagen- und interdisziplinare Forschung.

Dieses Buch untersucht die Integration der vorangestellten Adverbialsatze im Neuhochdeutschen anhand eines Korpus, das die Nahe-Distanz-Dimension systematisch berucksichtigt. Die Analyse liefert Ergebnisse zum - in der Forschung bislang weitgehend vernachlassigten - Bereich der konzeptionellen Mundlichkeit: Im Hinblick auf die Anbindung vorangestellter Adverbialsatze bestehen relevante Unterschiede zwischen konzeptionell mundlichen und konzeptionell schriftlichen Texten. Es wird zudem aufgezeigt, dass die integrative Stellung im Korpus in der Gesamtschau nicht den frequentesten Stellungstyp darstellt. Eine zentrale Bedeutung kommt dem Parameter der Inhaltsrelation bei der Frage nach der historischen Entwicklung der Verteilung der einzelnen Varianten zu.

Fur viele Sprachwissenschaftler ebenso wie fur Sprachbenutzer ist Nicht-Verstehen eine unabsichtlich entstehende Randerscheinung in der Kommunikation, die es zu vermeiden gilt. Die Beitrage in diesem Band rucken das negative Image des Nicht-Verstehens ein wenig zurecht. Sie analysieren und kategorisieren die Formen des Nicht-Verstehens aus unterschiedlichen ingenieurs- wie geisteswissenschaftlichen Blickwinkeln heraus fur verschiedene Sprachen und Medien. Nicht-Verstehen ist - mal mehr, mal weniger ausgepragt - in geschriebener wie gesprochener Sprache allgegenwartig und wird von Sprachbenutzern auch gezielt instrumentalisiert. Zudem werden einige Formen des Nicht-Verstehens uberschatzt - oder durch die Forschung selbst erst geschaffen, die das (Nicht-)Verstehen noch nicht verstanden hat.

Diese Arbeit analysiert den Einfluss von verschiedenen Faktoren auf die Grussformelwahl der Deutschen und der Russen und ermittelt via Fragebogenerhebung und mithilfe von kontrastiv-pragmatischen und deskriptiv-inferenzstatistischen Methoden - t-Test und Binomialtest - die kritischen Situationen mit einem hohen interkulturellen Konfliktpotential. Die Faktoren Distanz und Hierarchie scheinen den groessten Einfluss auf das deutsche und russische Grussverhalten zu haben. Situationen mit einem konvergierenden Bekanntheitsgrad- und Hierarchieverhaltnis zwischen den Interaktanten stellen sich als kritisch heraus: Es kann eine Nicht-Adaquatheit zwischen den deutschen Grussformeln 'Hallo' und 'Tschuss' und den russischen 'Privet' und 'Poka' trotz ihrer AEquivalenz festgestellt werden.

'The thrill is that you're actually figuring it out on your own. You're engaging with another language, not just parroting it... It's an excellent way to start, and leaves the listener thinking, Hey, Ich kann do dis.' - New Yorker, David Sedaris, humorist and author, on learning German with the Michel Thomas Method Looking for a convenient language course that fits your lifestyle and gets you speaking a new language in a matter of weeks, not years? The original no-books, no-homework, no-memorizing method is in tune with the way the brain prefers to receive, store and retrieve information. You'll stick with it because you'll love it. * Improve your Portuguese naturally and unforgettably without strain or stress * Learn from listening and speaking, without the pressure of writing or memorizing * Build up your Portuguese in manageable steps by thinking out answers for yourself WHY IS THE METHOD SO SUCCESSFUL? 'What you understand, you know; and what you know, you don't forget.' - Michel Thomas Before there was machine learning, there was Michel Thomas. For over 50 years he worked on decoding languages by breaking them down into their most essential component parts. These 'building blocks' are introduced to the learner sequentially in such a way that you reconstruct the language for yourself - to form your own sentences, to say what you want, when you want. This unique method draws on the principles of instructional psychology and works with the way your brain prefers to receive, store and retrieve information. Knowledge is structured and organized so that you absorb the language easily and don't forget it. The method is designed to eliminate the stress which prevents you from relaxing and allowing the brain to work in the way which accepts learning in a seemingly painless, very exciting and highly motivating way. HOW DO THE COURSES WORK? 'All stress inhibits true and effective learning' - Michel Thomas During the course, you will join Michel Thomas Method Teachers Virginia Catmur and two students in a live lesson, learning from both their successes and their mistakes to keep you motivated and involved throughout the course. You, as the learner, become the third student and participate actively in the class. Within the very first hour you will be able to construct complex phrases by listening and thinking out answers for yourself without the pressure of writing or stress of having to memorize. You will learn at your own pace, pausing and repeating where necessary, and complete the course in about 15-20 hours. By the end of the course, you will have a solid working knowledge of Portuguese and be able to express yourself confidently in a variety of situatio

Argumentation in Higher Education offers professors, lecturers and researchers informative guidance for teaching effective argumentation skills to their undergraduate and graduate students. This professional guide aims to make the complex topic of argumentation open and transparent. Grounded in empirical research and theory, but with student voices heard strongly throughout, this book fills the gap of argumentation instruction for the undergraduate and graduate level.

Written to enlighten even the most experienced professor, this text contributes to a better understanding of the demands of speaking, writing, and visual argumentation in higher education, and will undoubtedly inform and enhance course design. The book argues for a more explicit treatment of argument (the product) and argumentation (the process) in higher education, so that the ground rules of the academic discipline in question are made clear. Each chapter concludes with practical exercises for staff development use.

Topics discussed include:

• The importance of argument
• The current state of argumentation in higher education
• Generic skills in argumentation
• The balance between generic and discipline specific skills
• Information communication technologies and visual argumentation

How can we best teach argumentation so that students feel fully empowered in their academic composition? Professors (new and experienced), lecturers, researchers, professional developers and writing coaches worldwide grappling with this question will find this accessible text to be an extremely valuable resource.

A workbook section helps the reader with ideas for appropriate beginnings and endings to speeches. There is even an A-Z of sample toasts for all occasions including anniversaries, achievements, and business occasions; and for a range of subjects such as love, life, and friendship.

Welche Funktionen haben "kleine Woerter" wie Diskursmarker und Lautelemente in der Interaktion? Wo und zu welchem Zweck verwenden sie junge Frauen in Gesprachen untereinander? Die empirische Studie untersucht an einem Korpus von Alltagsgesprachen Deutschschweizer Gymnasiastinnen diese genuin mundlichen Phanomene. Als minim referentielle Objekte befinden sie sich an gesprachsorganisatorisch unklaren Stellen und bewegen sich in Bezug auf ihren Status zwischen Laut, Floskel und grammatikalisiertem Element. Die detaillierte mikroanalytische Untersuchung zeigt, wie damit in Kombination mit interaktionalen und diskursiven Verfahren verstarkt und gezielt Gemeinsamkeit in der Interaktion geschaffen werden kann. Theoretisch in der Soziolinguistik, methodisch in der Konversationsanalyse und der Interaktionalen Linguistik angesiedelt, findet die Arbeit Anschluss an interaktionale Forschungsrichtungen sowie an die internationale Jugendsprachforschung und zeigt neue Wege fur dialektologische Fragestellungen auf.

Querying Consent examines the ways in which the concept of consent is used to map and regulate sexual desire, gender relationships, global positions, technological interfaces, relationships of production and consumption, and literary and artistic interactions. From philosophy to literature, psychoanalysis to the art world, the contributors to Querying Consent address the most uncomfortable questions about consent today. Grounded in theoretical explorations of the entanglement of consent and subjectivity across a range of textual, visual, multi- and digital media, Querying Consent considers the relationships between consent and agency before moving on to trace the concept's outcomes through a range of investigations of the mutual implication of personhood and self-ownership.
