Kommunikation in Gesellschaftlichen Umbruchsituationen : Mikroanalytische Aspekte des Sprachlichen und Gesellschaftlichen Wandels in Den Neuen Bundesländern

In the linguistic research on the Wende undertaken so far, phenomena like vocabulary change and political language usage have been in the forefront of interest. This has involved a high degree of neglect for broad areas of everyday and spoken language and their socio-cultural moorings. The present volume sees itself as an empirical contribution to rectifying that situation. There are three main subjects: >EastWest< as categories of social affiliation established and concretized in communication; patterns and strategies of oral communication employed by East and West Germans (e.g. in job and guidance interviews); changes within the East German communication society.Auer, Peter is the author of 'Kommunikation in Gesellschaftlichen Umbruchsituationen : Mikroanalytische Aspekte des Sprachlichen und Gesellschaftlichen Wandels in Den Neuen Bundesländern', published 2000 under ISBN 9783484312197 and ISBN 348431219X.
