Die Studie stellt einen Beitrag zur aktuellen Debatte über sprachliche Expressivität und expressive Be-deutung im Lichte der Emotionsforschung und der verbalen Aggressionsforschung dar. Anhand von den laufenden Emotionstheorien wird auf die Emotionen eingegangen, die mit verbaler Aggression im engen Zusammenhang stehen (Wut, Angst, Frustration, Lus...

L’esperienza quotidiana ci dimostra che con le parole non soltanto possiamo descrivere stati di cose, ma anche provocare effetti sulla somaticità: con le parole possiamo abbracciare e accarezzare, ma anche colpire e ferire. Non si tratta solo di metafore descrittive, ma di stati del nostro corpo: ci sentiamo accarezzati, abbracciati, colpiti e feri...

Globalisation, increasing mobility, and the creation of transnational networks are transforming the linguistic ecologies of contemporary societies, em- phasising the urgency of revising the notion of speakerness and the primacy of the “native speaker”. In light of the reality of the new social practices of communication, the following questions ari...

Verbale Aggression gehört zu den Forschungsgegenständen, die die Pragmalinguistik in den letzten Jahrzehnten – auch angesichts der wachsenden Brisanz des Problems in der sozialen Arena und in den Medien – mit spürbarem Erkenntnisgewinn entwickelt hat. Aggression ist primär kein linguistisches Phänomen, sondern ein Ensemble von biologischen Faktoren...

The “Banter Principle” describes cases in which an offensive utterance (for example: German: “Du Arsch!” or Polish: “Ty draniu”) is not addressed by the speaker to the interlocutor with an aggressive intention, but it is intended to be an expression of admiration which reinforces the relationship with the Addressee. In addition, use of such languag...

Abstrakt The paper attempts to define the term "communicative space” for (im)politeness research. “Communicative space” is a crucial notion for the definition of concepts such as “ritual balance”, “discursive rule”, “discursive position”, “territoriality”, “field of action” and “co-construction of communicative interaction” (Jacoby, Ochs 1995). “C...

The chapter attempts to define a dynamic model for the analysis of conflictive processes caused by verbal aggression and impoliteness. The linguistic interest in verbal aggression is motivated by the illocutionary force and perlocutionary effects of aggressive utterances, i.e., by the performed acts associated with the interlocutor’s communicative...

The first part of this article traces the most important phases of the semantic enrichment and “terminologisation” (in the sense of the transformation of a lexical item from a generic word into a scientific term) of the German expression “Gestalt.” The word “Gestalt” (English translations are: “form,” “shape,” “configuration,” “aspect”) was already...

The Austrian writer Robert Musil (1880-1942) studied philosophy and psychology at the Friedrich-Wilhelms-University in Berlin (1903-1908) and was a student of Carl Stumpf. With him also studied future gestalt-psychologists. The intellectual impulses he received at this time had a determining influence on his thinking and on his way of understanding...
