Rolf Bergmann und Peter Pauly: Neuhochdeutsch. Arbeitsbuch zum linguistischen Unterricht [Rezension]
(1976)
Illokutive Handlungen
(1987)
This paper critically examines some recent performativist conceptions of analysing and describing interpretation of explicit performatives. In an alternative constativist approach the paper tries to determine the illocutionary point of explicit performatives on the basis of sentence mood, lexical information (i.e. the meaning of the speech act verb), utterance meaning, speaker’s authority, and some general principles of social behaviour.
What the speaker means in uttering a linguistic expression of a certain language in an actual communicative context can be described as the meaning of that expression in the given context plus its function with respect to an intended reaction of the hearer to whom the utterance is addressed. In our approach we refer to these aspects of the interpretation of linguistic utterances with utterance meaning and communicative (interactional) function of the utterance respectively. Together they are called the communicative sense of an utterance. The latter concept is analyzed in detail. It presupposes a proper concept of action of a speaker and assumptions on the general relations between meaning of linguistic expressions and intentions of the speaker as fundamental components of the concept “action of a speaker”. The linguistic expression pertaining to an utterance may be a sentence or a more complex linguistic structure, i.e. a text. A text is considered as a structure of illocutions, i.e. of elementary actions of a speaker. The communicative sense of a structure of illocutions is understood as the result of an interaction of the communicative sense of the single illocutions, constituting that structure.
The most important modern research on characteristic features and the history of language usage in Berlin are those of Agathe Lasch and Hermann Tetjchebt. Both authors disagree on the question of Upper Saxon influence on early Berlin language. As early as the end of the 18th century there was a lively discussion of problems concerning the representative standard of German pronunciation and other regional differences by teachers of Berlin grammar schools. They recommended a Northern German variant of pronunciation instead of the traditional Saxon one. The membership of the Royal Academy of Sciences gave them an occasion to find a public audience and to produce a noticeable effect.
Jacob Grimm was a very productive member of the Royal Academy of Sciences in Berlin. Between 1842 and 1863 he made speeches at least on 66 days of sitting. Grimm was one of the academy’s most active and most famous speakers. Many of his speeches were not only concerned with philological questions. He also confessed his views about other scientific disciplines or problems of public interest. Grimm emphasized the international character of sciences and expressed the high respect he payed to the cultural traditions of other peoples.
Horst Grünert: Sprache und Politik. Untersuchungen zum Sprachgebrauch der ‘Paulskirche’ [Rezension]
(1977)
The paper presents a summary of an attempt to define the notion of “sentence mood”. It pursues the question for which phenomena it makes sense to subsume them under this term. It proposes to capture by “sentence mood” one aspect of sentence (not clause!) meaning which can be seen as the base of the traditional sentence type (Satzarten) distinction. This aspect of sentence meaning is a special kind of attitude towards the state of affairs denoted by the sentence. It is typically determined by supralexical factors, and is to be interpreted under normal conditions.
Satzmodus in der Diskussion
(1988)
Wer eine korpusgestützte Untersuchung anstellt, ist zu Recht stolz auf hohe Belegzahlen und statistische Aussagekraft. Aber auch das Seltene und das Einzigartige hat einen Reiz, und darauf konzentrieren sich die folgenden Recherchen und Vorschläge. Selbst das Nichtvorhandene kann morgen schon belegbar sein - zum Beispiel Pluralformen zu Lemmata, die in Wörterbüchern Grammatikangaben wie „ohne Plural“ erhalten. Am Beispiel von Pluralformen besonders zu Feminina mit Derivationssuffix -heit/-(ig)keit werden unterschiedliche Möglichkeiten diskutiert, wie man mit dem Seltenen, mit dem Einzigartigen und mit dem Nichtvorhandenen oder Noch-nicht-Nachweisbaren in der Lexikografie und in sprachtechnologischen Anwendungen umgehen kann. Für Anregungen und Korrekturen danke ich herzlich Vilmos Ágel, Peter Eisenberg, Peter Gallmann, Klaus Mackowiak, Damaris Nübling, Werner Scholze-Stubenrecht, Anatol Stefanowitsch und Lutz Wind. Die Idee zu diesem Versuch gab mir die Mitarbeit an der 7. Auflage des Duden-Universalwörterbuchs, DDUW (2011), unter der Leitung von Werner Scholze-Stubenrecht, und am Vollformenprojekt meiner Kollegen aus der Duden-Sprachtechnologie.
