Die gesprächsanalytische Studie untersucht Gespräche im Spannungsfeld von institutioneller und interkultureller Kommunikation. Im Zuge der Beschreibung von natürlichen Kontaktgesprächen zwischen Mitarbeitern und Klienten einer deutschen Ausländerbehörde wird eine makrosoziologische Beschreibung der Arbeitswelt der Behörde und der Begegnung zwischen Mitarbeitern und Klienten mit der mikrosoziologischen Analyse von Face-to-face-Interaktionen des verbalen Handelns im situativen Kontext kombiniert. Ziel der Studie ist die Beschreibung des Gesprächsverhaltens der Mitarbeiter gegenüber den Klienten. Hierfür werden unterschiedliche sprachliche und kommunikative Strategien zur Bedeutungsherstellung und Verständnissicherung herausgearbeitet. Außerdem wird die Frage verfolgt, inwiefern sprachliche Individualität im institutionellen Umfeld möglich ist. Dabei zeigt sich, dass es sowohl in linguistischer als auch in allgemeiner Hinsicht unzureichend ist, pauschal von den Behördenmitarbeitern und den Klienten zu sprechen.
Follow-ups across discourse domains: A cross-cultural exploration of their forms and functions
(2012)
The edited volume documents the proceedings of the ESF workshop "Follow-ups across discourse domains: a cross-cultural exploration of their forms and functions". It examines the forms and functions of the dialogue act of a follow-up, viz. accepting or challenging a prior communicative act, in political discourse across spoken and written dialogic genres. Specifically, it considers (1) the discourse domains of political interviews, editorials, op-eds and discussion forums, (2) their sequential organization as regards the status of initial (or 1st order) follow-up, a follow-up of a prior follow-up (2nd order follow-up), or nth-order follow-up, and (3) their discursive realization as regards degrees of indirectness and responsiveness which are conceptualized as a continuum along the lines of degrees of explicitness and degrees of responsiveness. The chapters come from the fields of linguistics, discourse analysis, socio-pragmatics, communication, political science and psychology, examining the heterogeneous field of political discourse and its manifestation in diverse discourse genres with respect to evasiveness, indirectness and redundancy in mediated political discourse, professional discourse, discourse identity and doing politics, to name but the most prominent questions.
In spite of David Lodge’s rejection of the theories labelled as poststructuralist, this thesis proves that his novels can be interpreted from a Foucauldian perspective. The concept of discourse, seen by the French philosopher as intricately linked with knowledge, power and truth, enables the distinction of four main discourses in Lodge’s novels, religious, gender, ethnic and literary. The analysis reveals that in David Lodge’s fiction there is a perpetual struggle for power illustrating Foucault’s idea of the interdependence between power, knowledge, truth and discourses circulated by institutions.
