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.

Diese Arbeit verfolgt in der theoretischen Auseinandersetzung um ein Begriffsverstandnis und in der empirischen Forschung einen subjektiven Ansatz. Dadurch verandert sich der wissenschaftliche Diskurs und es entsteht ein Text, der die Leserschaft starker als gewohnt an Prozessen teilhaben lasst und sie dabei zur eigenen Positionierung anregen will. Im methodologischen Ansatz werden Bedeutung und Funktion von Ganzheitlichkeit (und Sprache) fur Durchfuhrung und Auswertung von Interviews untersucht und die Subjektivitat der Forscherin reflektiert. Die Interviewsituation wird durch eine Haltung der 'intellektuellen Liebe' (Bourdieu) charakterisiert. Die Interviews werden mittels des von der Autorin entwickelten Verfahrens der beschreibenden Mosaiksteine und des wertenden Mosaiks interpretiert. Durch die acht Einzelauswertungen der befragten Lehrerinnen und Lehrer entsteht ein individualisiertes, facettenreiches Spektrum zum Thema Ganzheitlichkeit und Sprache.

'Electrifying ... A user manual for our polarized world' Adam Grant, #1 New York Times-bestselling author of Think Again By a two-time debating world champion, a dazzling look at how arguing better can transform your life - and the world - for the better Everyone debates, in some form, most days. Sometimes we do it to persuade; other times to learn, discover a truth, or simply to express something about ourselves. We argue to defend ourselves, our work, and our loved ones from external threat. We do it to get our way, or just to get ahead. As a two-time debating world champion, Bo has made a career out of arguing. Over the past few years, however, he's noticed how we're not only arguing more and more, but getting worse at it - a fact proven by our polarised politics. By tracing his own journey from immigrant kid to world champion, as well as those of illustrious participants in the sport such as Malcolm X, Edmund Burke and Sally Rooney, Seo shows how the skills of debating - information gathering, truth finding, lucidity, organization, and persuasion - are often the cornerstone of successful careers and happy lives. Along the way, he provides the reader with an unforgettable toolkit to use debate as a means to improve their own. This book is an everyperson's guide to disagreeing well, so that the outcome of having had an argument is better than not having it at all. Taking readers on a thrilling intellectual adventure into the eccentric and brilliant subculture of competitive debate, The Art of Disagreeing Well proves that good-faith debate can enrich and improve our lives, friendships, democracies and in the process, our world.

They don’t tell you how to own the room. This book does.
