Sprache in der Gesellschaft

Das sprachliche Universum ist äußerst facettenreich und ausdifferenziert. Sprache, so zeigt die moderne Linguistik, zerfällt in die Sprachen einzelner Gruppen und Medien, geprägt von Tradition und Innovation, von Handlungsfeldern und Weltanschauungen. Sprache signalisiert, was als Wirklichkeit erfahren wird, wie man diese beschreibt und ordnet, um sich und andere zu orientieren. Die Reihe Sprache in der Gesellschaft hat das Ziel, Bedingungen sprachlichen Handelns in unterschiedlichen Kommunikationssphären und Praxisfeldern zu beleuchten – auch um gesellschaftlich relevantes Wissen auf hohem fachlichen Niveau anzubieten. Es gilt, das Geflecht der sprachlichen Normen und Regeln zu erforschen, die eine soziale Wirklichkeit erzeugen, stabilisieren oder verändern. Diese Normen und Regeln zeigen sich in der Analyse von Situationen und Gattungen; sie werden bei der Erforschung von kommunikativen Strategien offenbar; und sie ergeben sich aus den Zwängen des jeweiligen Mediums (Zeitung, Radio, Fernsehen, Netzmedien). Die einzelnen in dieser Reihe veröffentlichten Arbeiten analysieren – primär auf linguistischer Grundlage, jedoch mit einem programmatischen Interesse an der Verbindung von Sprach- und Medienwissenschaft auf dem Weg zu einer interdisziplinären Medienforschung – ergiebige Schnittstellen und Spannungsfelder der mündlichen und schriftlichen Kommunikation: zwischen Wissenschaft und Anwendung, Öffentlichkeit und Privatheit, Norm und Variation. Die Qualität der in dieser Reihe erscheinenden Arbeiten wird vor der Publikation durch Herausgeber der Reihe geprüft.

Feuchtwanger Studies

This series focuses on the life and work of the internationally celebrated German writer Lion Feuchtwanger (1884–1958), whose works have been translated into many languages. Of particular interest are topics such as Feuchtwanger’s role as a critic of Weimar Germany and the rise of Nazism, his years of exile in France (1933–40) and in the United States (1940–58), his achievements as a proponent of the historical novel, and his reception both in Germany and in the wider world. The series presents Feuchtwanger in the context of his times, paying special attention to his years in Southern California and his relationships with other leading cultural figures of the era.
