This paper focuses on so called syntactic projection phenomena in the German language. This term from the German Gesprächsforschung is used to define the fact that an utterance or part of it foreshadows another one. This paper aims at pointing out how such projection phenomena are consciously exploited for rhethorical purposes. This will be observed on the basis of excerpts from the Stuttgart 21 mediation talks. The linguistic analysis carried out in this paper will focus on syntactic projection phenomena involving the use of causal adverbial connectives deshalb and deswegen.
This paper aims at investigating the usage of present subjunctive (Konjunktiv I), which is traditionally labelled as a feature of standard written language and therefore as typically occurring in communication genres based on it such as press texts and reporting, in everyday spoken German. Through an analysis of corpus data performed according to theory and method of Interactional Linguistics and encompassing private, institutional and public interactional domains, the paper will show how this particular verb form expresses different epistemic stances according to its syntactic embedment.
Der Blick auf die Syntax und generell auf die Grammatik ist traditionell aszendent, 'von unten nach oben' gerichtet: Einer Wortgrammatik folgt eine Satzgrammatik und dieser eventuell eine Textgrammatik. Doch wir schreiben und sprechen weder in Wörtern noch in Sätzen, sondern wir produzieren Texte und Gespäche. Deshalb musste auch der diametral entgegengesetzte Blick, der zu einer deszendenten Grammatik fuhrt, möglich sein. Eine solche Grammatik liegt mit der Grammatischen Textanalyse (= GTA), einer funktionalen Syntax des Gegenwartsdeutschen vor, die das grammatische System 'von oben nach unten' - von der Text- (Textglieder) über die Satz- (Satzglieder) zur Wortgruppenebene (Wortgruppenglieder) - modelliert. Im Beitrag werden Grundlagen und Leitbegriffe der GTA vorgestellt und an ausgewählten Phänomenen exemplifiziert.

Modern theoretical linguistics lives by the insight that the meanings of complex expressions derive from the meanings of their parts and the way these are composed. However, the currently dominating theories of the syntax-semantics interface hastily relegate important aspects of meaning which cannot readily be aligned with visible structure to empty projecting heads non-reductively (mainstream Generative Grammar) or to the syntactic construction holistically (Construction Grammar). This book develops an alternative, compositional analysis of the hidden aspectual-temporal, modal and comparative meanings of a range of productive constructions of which pseudorefl exive, excessive and directional complement constructions take center stage. Accordingly, a contradiction-inducing hence semantically problematic part of literally coded meaning is locally ignored and systematically realized „expatriately“ with respect to parts of structure that achieve the indexical anchoring of propositional contents in terms of times, worlds and standards of comparison, thus yielding the observed hidden meanings.
