Was ist Deixis?
(1995)
There are a number of linguistic elements whose deictic character is by and large uncontroversial, amongst them I, here and now (German ich, hier and jetzt). Recent theoretical and descriptive treatments, however, have based their definitions of deixis on divergent properties of such elements. In the first part of the present paper, twelve properties of deictic elements are compiled and discussed with particular reference to their general semiotic status. The second part focusses on the opposition of proximity and remoteness (as exemplified by German dies-/jen- and hier/dort) in a number of different types of deixis.
The concept of functional stylistics developed in the sixties and early seventies by Elise Riesel is reconsidered and modified in view of the results of a corpus-linguistic investigation by Douglas Biber and Edward Finegan. Instead of Riesel’s five functional styles an inventory of seven styles is suggested which may be presented either in hierarchic or in scalar notation. Furthermore, a distinction is drawn between focal and peripheral areas in the internal structure of functional styles and text genres; latent conventional style models as a basis of text production and text reception are postulated. Finally, an attempt is made to integrate the distinction between spoken and written text into the model of functional styles.
Kiseang Cheang: Semantik der Deixis : eine organismische Analyse sprachlicher Deixis [Rezension]
(1994)
Die vorliegende Arbeit untersucht linguistische Strategien der Beschönigung und Verharmlosung, die unter den Bedingungen eines sogenannten Müllnotstandes in der BRD das Sprachverhalten bestimmter Gesellschaftsgruppen in müllbezogenen Publikationen kennzeichnen. Anhand eines Textkorpus und etlicher Wörterbücher wird neben anderen Beispielen vor allem das Wortpaar Abfall versus Müll auf Distribution, Wortbildung, Semantik und Pragmatik hin analysiert. Angewandt und vervollständigt werden die Ergebnisse bei der exemplarischen Beschreibung der Euphemismen in Behördentexten, deren praktisch-politische Funktion zugleich kritisch beleuchtet wird. Im Schlußteil werden Natur- und Umweltschutzgruppen zu verstärkter Sprachkritik und konsistentem Argumentieren ermutigt.
