The German Linguistic Studies Series is a comprehensive and outstanding forum in its field. It has borne the name of its subject in its title since the foundation of the series in the eighth decade of the last century.The series is comprehensive in the broad spectrum of topics covered (language levels, varieties, communication forms, epochs) in the range of research perspectives (theoretical and empirical studies, fundamental research and applications, interdisciplinarity with psychology, the social sciences etc.) and methodologies (the sole criterion is quality), in the rhythm of research (trends are perceived and also set, achievements are secured) and in the forms of presentation (monographs, textbooks, collected volumes, dictionaries).Professorial theses, outstanding doctoral theses, pioneering research findings from wider contexts, but also the surprising ‛stroke of genius’ set the standards for inclusion in the series.

This handbook provides a comprehensive overview of spatial configurations of language use and of language use in space. It consists of four parts. The first part covers the various practices of describing space through language, including spatial references in spoken interaction or in written texts, the description of motion events as well as the creation of imaginative spaces in storytelling. The second part surveys aspects of the spatial organization of face-to-face communication including not only spatial arrangements of small groups in interaction but also the spatial dimension of sign language and gestures. The third part is devoted to the communicative resources of constructed spaces and the ways in which these facilitate and shape communication. Part four, finally, is devoted to pragmatics across space and cultures, i.e. the ways in which language use differs across language varieties, languages and cultures.

In einer Zeit, in der die Frage des Umgangs mit todkranken Menschen zunehmend an Bedeutung gewinnt, bringt dieses Buch entscheidende Hinweise und neue Ansätze für den Bereich der Klinikseelsorge. Das Gespräch zwischen Klinikseelsorger und Patienten wird hier erstmals unter gesprächsanalytischen und institutionsspezifischen Gesichtspunkten untersucht. Dabei wird Klinikseelsorge als eigenständiges Forschungsfeld mit unmittelbar umsetzbaren Konsequenzen für den Alltag dargestellt. Aus Analysen von Seelsorgegesprächen mit todkranken und sterbenden Menschen werden für diesen hochsensiblen Bereich klare Empfehlungen für eine nicht-direktive Gesprächsführung abgeleitet. Dabei wird sowohl nach dem Sinn und der Berechtigung als auch nach der Qualität der Seelsorgegespräche mit todkranken Patienten gefragt und der Berührungspunkt zwischen theologischer Reflexion und Gesprächsanalyse aufgezeigt.
