This volume aims at analyzing the relationship between the
dialogical accomplishment of spoken talk-in-interaction on the one
hand and entrenched patterns of linguistic and socio-cultural
knowledge (constructions, frames, and communicative genres) on the
other. The contributions analyze linguistic patterns in different
languages such as English, French, German, and Swedish.
Methodologically, they take up the usage-based position that
structural and functional aspects of language use need to be
studied empirically and "bottom-up": Since grammatical structure
arises as the entrenched result of recurrent language use, its
study should start with the local organization of natural
talk-in-interaction before moving on to more complex and abstract
relationships between linguistic structure, linguistic meaning, and
socio-cultural activity/event patterns. Furthermore, they argue
that Dialogism provides a promising starting point for a
usage-based approach to linguistic patterns as both emerging (i.e.
constructed in response to the situational circumstances of
talk-in-interaction) and emergent (i.e. constructed with regard to
symbolic units as parts of socially and culturally shared
knowledge).
For a number of years, there has been concernin Germany about the
decline of language . From a linguistic perspective, this
hypothesis cannot be substantiated. Public debate, however, does
raise some new questions about the stability and mutability of
language norms. This volume undertakes a linguistic examination of
the relationship between empiricism and standards in various forms
and domains of communication."
This collection of essays on gender linguistics presents various
perspectives on practices of linguistic construction of gender
identity. The articles describe current methodological and
theoretical approaches to analyzing the relationship between
language and gender, discuss current issues, and sketch out new
perspectives on linguistic gender construction in media contexts,
in face-to-face interactions, and in the interplay of language
systems and usage.
The papers in this volume study linguistic structures in the
context of their interactive functions and usages; they concentrate
on grammatical constructions for the positioning of self and
others. Using empirical analyses of positioning constructions, the
authors show that forms and functions of grammatical structures in
everyday interactions are closely interwoven with the conditions
for the production and reception of spoken language. In order to
take account of the tension between the stabilisation of
grammatical constructions and the process of their actualisation in
interactions, the authors combine methods from Interactional
Linguistics with insights from usage-based positions of both
Construction Grammar and Cognitive Grammar.
On the basis of a study of reproach activities ('in situ
reproaches', 'mock reproaches' and reconstructions of previous
reproach interactions in 'complaint stories') the monograph
examines prosodic, grammatical, rhetorical/stylistic processes and
their functions in everyday usage. Following an analysis of the
constitution of these reproach genres the study charts the
consequences for a theory of communicative practice and discusses
aspects such as the genre-specific function of grammatical
structures, the interaction between prosodic and syntactic
procedures in the production of communicative meaning, and the role
of indexical signs in the negotiation of meaning.
Arbeiten zur Syntax gesprochener Sprache verdeutlichen immer
wieder, dass Interagierende sich sowohl bei der Produktion als auch
Rezeption von AEusserungen an konstruktionellen Schemata
("constructions") orientieren. Mit dem vorliegenden Sammelband
werden systematische Vernetzungsmoeglichkeiten zwischen Ansatzen
der "Construction Grammar" und interaktional ausgerichteten Studien
zur Grammatik der gesprochenen Sprache aufgezeigt. Die empirischen
Analysen widmen sich verfestigten Konstruktionen unterschiedlicher
Komplexitat in deutschen und englischen Kommunikationssituationen.
Statt grammatische Strukturen, ihre Formen und Funktionen
kontextlosgeloest zu betrachten, studieren die Beitrager Grammatik
im konkreten Interaktionsprozess und beziehen dabeibislang meist
ausgesparte Phanomene wie die Prosodie, die Dialogizitat und die
Prozesshaftigkeit sprachlichen Handelns in die Analyse
grammatischer Konstruktionen mit ein.
