The Bonn Handbook of Globality
This two-volume handbook provides readers with a comprehensive interpretation of globality through the multifaceted prism of the humanities and social sciences. Key concepts and symbolizations rooted in and shaped by European academic traditions are discussed and reinterpreted under the conditions of the global turn. Highlighting consistent anthropological features and socio-cultural realities, the handbook gathers coherently structured articles written by 110 professors in the humanities and social sciences at Bonn University, Germany, who initiate a global dialogue on meaningful and sustainable notions of human life in the age of globality. Volume 1 introduces readers to various interpretations of globality, and discusses notions of human development, communication and aesthetics. Volume 2 covers notions of technical meaning, of political and moral order, and reflections on the shaping of globality.
The Post-Truth Era and English Language Education
This collection offers perspectives from established scholars on the theoretical and practical dimensions of English language education in a post-truth era. Reflecting on the implications of contemporary sociocultural and cultural realities, the volume begins by outlining the conceptual and theoretical foundations for the teaching and learning of English as a platform for post-truth pedagogies.With a focus on relevant educational issues such as literacy, multimodality, interculturality and democratic citizenship, authors provide insight into the unique affordances of English language education in promoting students’ critical abilities. The remaining chapters explore these factors at play a...
Public Information Messages
Public information messages are an important means of state-citizen communication in today’s societies. Using this genre, citizens are directed to “never ever drink and drive”, to “slow down” and to “learn to say no”. Yet, this book presents the first in-depth analysis of public information messages from a linguistic perspective, and indeed also from a cross-cultural perspective. Specifically, the study, adopting genre analysis, contrasts a corpus of state-run national public information campaigns in Germany and Ireland. A taxonomy of moves is developed inductively and the interactional features of the genre are analysed and related to the context of use. The comprehensive discussion of theoretical and methodological issues, the in-depth analysis and the extensive bibliography make this book of interest to researchers and students in (contrastive) discourse analysis, (cross-cultural) pragmatics, contrastive rhetoric, advertising, social psychology, mass communication and media studies. Copy-writers will also profit from the insights gained, particularly within the context of an increase in Europe-wide public information campaigns.
Dialogue Analysis IX: Dialogue in Literature and the Media, Part 1: Literature
These two volumes offer a selection of the papers held at the conference of the International Association for Dialogue Analysis (IADA) in 2003. Volume I contains 38 articles devoted to dialogue and the phenomenon of 'dialogicity' in literature, ranging from antiquity to a large number of modern languages and literatures. The conversation-analytic approaches drawn upon are notable for their methodological diversity. This is also true of the 32 articles in Volume II. The main focus here is on present-day types of dialogue in the new electronic media and their 'traditional' counterparts (press, radio, television, film). The examples are taken from various countries, and they are discussed in terms of the intercultural, semiotic, translatorial, and general pragmatic issues they pose.
Aspectuality
This synchronic study presents a new onomasiological, frame-theoretical model for the description, classification and theoretical analysis of the cross-linguistic content category aspectuality. It deals specifically with those pieces of information, which, in their interplay, constitute the aspectual value of states of affairs. The focus is on Romance Languages, although the model can be applied just as well to other languages, in that it is underpinned by a principle grounded in a fundamental cognitive ability: the delimitation principle. Unlike traditional approaches, which generally have a semasiological orientation and strictly adhere to a semantic differentiation between grammatical aspect and lexical aspect (Aktionsart), this study makes no such differentiation and understands these as merely different formal realisations of one and the same content category: aspectuality.

Komplexe Prädikatsausdrücke im Deutschen und Französischen
Die Arbeit beschäftigt sich mit solchen Verb-Substantiv-Verbindungen, die das semantische Prädikat eines Satzes ausdrücken. Es wird einerseits das Konzept der Funktionsverbgefüge erörtert, andererseits die lexikongrammatischen Konzepte der Stützverbkonstruktionen und verbalen Mehrwortausdrücke. Die Arbeit zielt auf eine einheitliche Beschreibung gemäß der Lexikongrammatik. Die empirischen Daten des Deutschen werden entsprechend reanalysiert. Eine auf dieser Basis durchgeführte kontrastive Darstellung konfrontiert komplexe mit einfachen Prädikatsausdrücken. Im dritten Teil werden Anwendungen angedeutet. Für die Sprachdidaktik werden Übungen vorgeschlagen, im Bereich Computerlinguistik werden neben anderen Realisierungen zwei DCGs des Verfassers vorgestellt. Ein Anhang liefert außerdem kontrastive Tabellen im Lexikongrammatik-Format.
