Book Description
This series of HANDBOOKS OF LINGUISTICS AND COMMUNICATION SCIENCE is designed to illuminate a field which not only includes general linguistics and the study of linguistics as applied to specific languages, but also covers those more recent areas which have developed from the increasing body of research into the manifold forms of communicative action and interaction. For "classic" linguistics there appears to be a need for a review of the state of the art which will provide a reference base for the rapid advances in research undertaken from a variety of theoretical standpoints, while in the more recent branches of communication science the handbooks will give researchers both an verview and orientation. To attain these objectives, the series will aim for a standard comparable to that of the leading handbooks in other disciplines, and to this end will strive for comprehensiveness, theoretical explicitness, reliable documentation of data and findings, and up-to-date methodology. The editors, both of the series and of the individual volumes, and the individual contributors, are committed to this aim. The languages of publication are English, German, and French. The main aim of the series is to provide an appropriate account of the state of the art in the various areas of linguistics and communication science covered by each of the various handbooks; however no inflexible pre-set limits will be imposed on the scope of each volume. The series is open-ended, and can thus take account of further developments in the field. This conception, coupled with the necessity of allowing adequate time for each volume to be prepared with the necessary care, means that there is no set time-table for the publication of the whole series. Each volume will be a self-contained work, complete in itself. The order in which the handbooks are published does not imply any rank ordering, but is determined by the way in which the series is organized; the editor of the whole series enlist a competent editor for each individual volume. Once the principal editor for a volume has been found, he or she then has a completely free hand in the choice of co-editors and contributors. The editors plan each volume independently of the others, being governed only by general formal principles. The series editor only intervene where questions of delineation between individual volumes are concerned. It is felt that this (modus operandi) is best suited to achieving the objectives of the series, namely to give a competent account of the present state of knowledge and of the perception of the problems in the area covered by each volume.

Functional Grammar
Author: Alexander V. Bondarko
Publisher: John Benjamins Publishing
ISBN: 9027277796
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 217
Book Description
Every grammar has to a greater or lesser extent a functional aspect. In this book, Bondarko provides a comprehensive discourse on the theoretical foundations of grammar, concentrating on functional-semantic fields, with emphasis on the diversity of their structural types. Criteria for distinguishing between linguistically structured meaning and non-linguistic cognitive content is developed in a discussion on “the Category of Aspect and its Environment” which includes an analysis of aspectual opposition according to the Prague School. Special attention is also paid to analysing polycentric fields and, specifically, taxis in the Russian language. The book is divided into three sections: Functional Grammar: Subject Matter and Goals — Structural Types of Functional-Semantic Fields — Categorial Situations. This book is intended for those interested in the general theory of linguistics.

Kommunikation und Grammatik
Author: Gertrud Bense
Publisher: Peter Lang Gmbh, Internationaler Verlag Der Wissenschaften
ISBN:
Category : Communication
Languages : de
Pages : 236
Book Description
Dieser Band enthält Arbeiten, die der kommunikativ-funktionalen Sprachbetrachtung verpflichtet sind. Das Konzept zum Gesamtmitteilungsinhalt von Äußerungen erstellte F.-W. Wolter bereits in den Jahren 1986-1989. Anhand von französischem, englischem, russischem und makedonischem Sprachmaterial werden grammatisch-syntaktische Strukturen grundsätzlich an funktional-semantischen und kommunikativ-kontextualen Kriterien festgemacht und adäquat belegt (A. Schiller, H. Kirsten/D. Schneider, W. Lange, W. Boeck, H.-J. Mattusch, G. Havranek). Der Versuch eines linguistischen Beschreibungsmodells (G. Bense) und die Untersuchung zur pädagogischen Kommunikation (H. Eckert) richten sich an der allen Beiträgen zugrundeliegenden Konzeption aus. Friedrich-Wilhelm Wolter (1923-1990), dem dieser Band gewidmet ist, studierte in den 50er Jahren Romanistik in Halle. Dann arbeitete er dort zeit seines Lebens als akedemischer Sprachlehrer; er sorgte für einen intensiven, kommunikativ orientierten Sprachunterricht. Er war Mitbegründer und eine der gestaltenden Kräfte des heutigen Forschungskreises Kommunikativ-funktionale Sprachbetrachtung in Halle. Sein großes Projekt einer französischen Grammatik aus kommunikativ-funktionaler Sicht mußte unerfüllt bleiben.

Functional Sentence Perspective in Written and Spoken Communication
Author: Jan Firbas
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 0521373085
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 259
Book Description
Inspired by the ideas of the Prague School, the theory of functional sentence perspective (FSP) is concerned with the distribution of information as determined by all meaningful elements, from intonation (for speech) to context. A central feature of FSP is communicative dynamism. Jan Firbas discusses the distribution of the degrees of communicative dynamism over sentence elements, which determines the orientation or perspective of the sentence. He examines also the relation of theme and rheme to, and implementation by, syntactic components. Special attention is paid to the relation between FSP and word order. The second part of the book deals with spoken communication and considers the place of intonation in the interplay of FSP factors, establishing the concept of prosodic prominence. It tackles the relationship between the distribution of degrees of communicative dynamism as determined by the interplay of the non-prosodic FSP factors and the distribution of degrees of prosodic prominence as brought about by intonation.
