Die Frage, welches die historischen Bedingungen des standardisierten und überregional verwendbaren Neuhochdeutschen sind, gehört zu den zentralen Themen der deutschen Sprachgeschichte. Ausgehend von einer kritischen Auseinandersetzung mit den bisherigen Erklärungsansätzen wird in diesem Buch die funktionale Differenzierung von Sprache als Bedingung der Möglichkeit anderer Standardisierungsprozesse behandelt. Damit wird das sprachgeographische Paradigma zugunsten einer diskurs- und textanalytischen Sichtweise in Frage gestellt. Die theoretischen Positionen des Buches werden in einer Untersuchung zur Funktionsdifferenzierung des juridischen Diskurses von 1200 bis 1800 untermauert. Es wird deutlich, dass die Textvorkommen in allen relevanten Rechtskreisen über intertextuelle Bezüge funktional hochgradig differenzierend wirken. Die Geschichte der Standardisierung des Deutschen ist insofern als Prozess der textgestützten Polyfunktionalisierung erklärt.

Invective phenomena with the purpose or effect of marginalization and exclusion, of insult and debasement, of discrimination and verbal aggression have long been in the focus of discourse-analytical research. Among the various linguistic disciplines that deal with invective communication, discourse approaches have a particular analytical potential. They shift the focus to discursive conditions and the effects of power relations which make invective practices possible in the first place, and shed light on their contextual and epistemic embeddings.

The interdisciplinary volume is devoted to the forms, formats, and effects of invective communication in both contemporary and historical discourse constellation, from different cultural contexts and in diverse media constellations. The contributions from the fields of linguistics, literature, and sociology thus demonstrate the potentials of discourse-analytical approaches in the study of invectives and invectivity.
