Die sprachliche Ausblendung des Autorsubjekts ist prägendes Merkmal der Wissenschaftskommunikation, gleichzeitig indiziert aber jeder Wissenschaftstext durch seinen argumentativen Duktus, durch die individuelle Wahl der sprachlichen Mittel und durch explizite Teiltexte wie Vorwörter unweigerlich ein Autorsubjekt, dem der Text zugeschrieben wird. Die vorliegende Arbeit zielt darauf ab, den Autor auf diesem Hintergrund als aspektreiche Konstruktion im Text zu beschreiben. Damit verbindet sich das Ziel, den Autorbegriff, der bis jetzt vor allem in der literaturtheoretischen Diskussion eine zentrale Rolle spielte, in die Diskussion um die Domäne der Sachtexte einzubringen und für eine pragmatisch orientierte, interdisziplinär agierende Textwissenschaft anschlussfähig zu machen. Die Darstellung von Autorschaft bewegt sich auf unterschiedlichen Darstellungsniveaus. Wissenschaftstypische Handlungen wie "ein Forschungsproblem lösen" werden laufend expliziert, während wissenschaftstypische Haltungen wie Unsicherheit in hohem Maße auf Andeutung angewiesen sind. Im hier vorgeschlagenen, theoretisch orientierten Modell werden die Markierungsebenen integriert. Der "Autor-im-Text" kann damit sowohl als domänentypische wie als individuelle Figur bestimmt werden.

The second edition of this collection of 13 original papers contains an updated introductory section detailing the significance that the original articles published in 1992 have for the further development of research into linguistic politeness into the 21st century. The original articles focus on the phenomenon of politeness in language. They present the most important problems in developing a theory of linguistic politeness, which must deal with the crucial differences between lay notions of politeness in different cultures and the term 'politeness' as a concept within a theory of linguistic politeness. The universal validity of the term itself is called into question, as are models such as those developed by Brown and Levinson, Lakoff, and Leech. New approaches are suggested. In addition to this theoretical discussion, an empirical section presents a number of case studies and research projects in linguistic politeness. These show what has been achieved within current models and what still remains to be done, in particular with reference to cross-cultural studies in politeness and differences between a Western and a non-Western approach to the subject. The publication of this second edition demonstrates that the significance of the collection is just as salient in the first decade of the new millennium as it was at the beginning of the 1990's.

Die einzelnen Kapitel des Buches bieten einen Einblick in die Methoden der Fachprosa- und Fachsprachenforschung - der zwei grundsätzlichen Ansätze bei der wissenschaftlichen Betrachtung historischer Fachtexte. Die Quellentexte werden hier nicht nur aus mediävistisch-philologischer und wissenschaftshistorischer Perspektive beleuchtet, sondern auch aus Sicht der historischen Pragmatik als einer relativ jungen Forschungsrichtung. Im Buch werden Analysen von mittelalterlich-frühneuzeitlichen Texten verschiedener Fächer präsentiert, die sowohl die traditionellen Zugänge dokumentieren als auch neue Möglichkeiten skizzieren, die sich dank der technischen Errungenschaften bei der Untersuchung von historischen Fachtexten in der Gegenwart anbieten.Die Beiträge beweisen, dass die intensive Beschäftigung mit Textzeugen heute als integrativer Ansatz zur Vereinigung von Fachprosa- und Fachsprachenforschung angesehen werden kann und dass es deshalb nahezu unmöglich ist, beide Ansätze immer genau voneinander zu trennen.

Irish English, while having been the focus of investigations on a variety of linguistic levels, reveals a dearth of research on the pragmatic level. In the present volume, this imbalance is addressed by providing much-needed empirical data on language use in Ireland in the private, official and public spheres and also by examining the use of Irish English as a reflection of socio-cultural norms of interaction. The contributions cover a wide range of pragmatic phenomena and draw on a number of frameworks of analysis. Despite the wide scope of topics and methodologies, a relatively coherent picture of conventions of language use in Ireland emerges. Indirectness and heterogeneity on the formal level are, for instance, shown to be features of Irish English. This volume is the first book-length treatment of the pragmatics of a national variety of English, or any other language. Indeed, it could be considered a first step towards a new discipline, variational pragmatics, at the interface of pragmatics and dialectology. This book is of primary interest to researchers and students in pragmatics, variational linguistics, Irish English, English as Foreign Language (EFL), cross-cultural communication and discourse analysis. Furthermore, the pragmatic descriptions provided will be of practical use in the increasingly important English as Second Language (ESL) context in Ireland. Finally, it is also of relevance to professionals dealing with Ireland and, indeed, to anyone interested in a deeper understanding of Irish culture.

This book investigates specific syntactic means of event elaborationacross seven Indo-European languages (English, German, Norwegian,French, Russian, Latin and Ancient Greek): bare and comitative smallclauses ("absolutes"), participle constructions and related clause-like butnon-finite adjuncts that increase descriptive granularity with respect toconstitutive parts of the matrix event (elaboration in the narrowestsense), or describe eventualities that are co-located and connectedwith but not part of the matrix event. The book falls in twoparts. Part I addresses central theoretical issues: How is the co-eventiveinterpretation of such adjuncts achieved? What is the internal syntax ofparticipial and converb constructions? How do these constructionsfunction at the discourse level, as compared to various finite structuresthat are available for co-eventive elaboration? Part II takes an empiricalcross-linguistic perspective. It consists of five self-contained chapters thatare based on parallel corpora and study either the use of a specificconstruction across at least two of the seven object languages, or how aspecific construction is rendered in other languages.
