Abstract

Der Band untersucht aus verschiedenen Perspektiven die Genese, Funktionsweise und Wirkung von sprachlich vermittelten gesellschaftlichen Leitbildern. Diese sprachlichen Realisationen von diskursprägenden Denkmustern können linguistisch als Schlüsselwörter oder Metaphern erfasst werden. Die hier vorgelegten Studien untersuchen an einer Fülle von Einzelbeispielen, wie Leitbilder in kompakten, kommunizierbaren und positiv besetzten sprachlichen Formeln verdichtet werden und wie diese Formeln den Bestand an kollektiv geteilten Wert- und Normalitätsvorstellungen festigen und weiterverbreiten. Die allen Beiträgen zugrunde liegende These ist, dass Subjekte die 'objektive' Wirklichkeit durch Versprachlichung, also durch Kommunikation erst 'erschaffen'. Durch die Zusammenführung von Theoremen der Soziologie und der Linguistik erarbeiten die Autoren eine neue Sichtweise im Hinblick auf den Prozess der Leitbildentwicklung und damit des 'Weltentwurfs'. Sie können u. a. zeigen, dass ein gesellschaftliches Leitbild seine größte (unbewusste) Wirkmächtigkeit gerade dann entfaltet, wenn die öffentliche Diskussion über seine Relevanz abgeebbt ist, d.h., wenn sich keine sprachlichen Manifestationen im öffentlichen Diskurs mehr beobachten lassen. Der Band enthält u. a. Beiträge von Brigitte Aulenbacher, Susan Geideck, Karsten Kassner, Josef Klein, Wolf-Andreas Liebert, Andreas Musolff, Tilla Siegel, Franc Wagner, Petra Wassermann und Martin Wengeler.

Abstract

Metaphor and Metonymy at the Crossroads is a collection of essays, most of them written from a cognitive linguistics standpoint by leading specialists in the fields of conceptual metaphor and metonymy, and conceptual integration (blending). The book has two main goals. One of them is to discuss in new, provocative ways the nature of these conceptual mappings in English and their interaction. The other goal is to explore by means of several detailed case studies the central role of these mappings in English. The studies are, thus, concerned with the operation of metaphor and metonymy in discourse, including literary discourse or with the effect of metaphorical and/or metonymic mappings on some aspects of linguistic structure, be it polysemy or grammar. The book is of interest to students and researchers in English and linguistics, English literature, cognitive psychology and cognitive science.

Abstract

The common aim of the contributions to this volume is to shed light on the communication of conceptual structures. The papers investigate how speakers rely on the same cognitive dispositions in three different areas of transfer: in the lexicalization of metonymies and metaphors; in intercultural communication; and in expert-lay communication.

Abstract

Since the 1980's, metaphor has received much attention in linguistics in general. Within Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL) the area of 'grammatical metaphor' has become increasingly more important. This volume aims to raise and debate problematic issues in the study of lexico-grammatical metaphor, and to foreground the potential of further study in the field. There is a need to highlight the SFL perspective on metaphor; other traditions focus on lexical aspects, and from cognitive perspectives, while SFL focuses on the grammatical dimension, and socio-functional aspects in the explanation...

Abstract

Wesley Olmstead examines the parables of the Two Sons, the Tenants and the Wedding Feast against the backdrop of the wider Matthean narrative. He explores Matthew's characterization of the Jewish leaders, the people and the nations, and assesses the respective roles of Israel and the nations in the plot of Matthew's Gospel. Against the current of contemporary Matthean scholarship, Olmstead argues both that the judgement this trilogy announces falls upon Israel (and not only her leaders) and that these parables point to the future inclusion of the nations in the nation that God had promised to raise up from Abraham. Bringing both literary-critical and redaction-critical tools to bear on the texts at hand, Olmstead not only elucidates the intended meanings of this parabolic trilogy but also attempts to determine the responses they elicited from their first readers. Transcending Matthean scholarship, this book has implications for all Gospel studies.

Abstract

How closely do the theoretical notions of "metaphor" and "allegory" developed by ancient rhetoricians reflect the practice of Classical writers? This question is tackled through eleven new papers by a team of distinguished academics. Ancient theories of metaphor are compared with twentieth-century alternatives; theory is tested against practice; and allegory--a distinctive though neglected feature of ancient literature and philosophy--is explored against the background of the rhetoricians' claim that it is one form of metaphor.
