Sprache im Kontext / Language in Context – serie

The expression of time is fundamental in communication and languages have developed a variety of means to encode temporal relations. When learning a new language, learners are often faced with the challenging task of discovering a new system of temporal relations.The present study investigates the development of tense and aspect marking in the interlanguage of L3 Italian learners enrolled in university language courses. It examines how the tense-aspect system develops in the interlanguage and how the acquisition process is shaped by factors such as the lexical aspectual value of the predicates and discourse grounding. The data indicate that both lexical aspect and discourse grounding influence the distribution of verbal morphology in the interlanguage. Semantically congruent pairings of lexical aspect, verbal morphology and discourse grounding are used more frequently and appropriately than less prototypical combinations. The acquisition process is also influenced by the learner’s L1, which was mostly German in the context of the present study.The study can be used as a guide for curricular decisions in language teaching, and for projecting further research on the development of tense-aspect marking in multilingual learners.

Sprache im Kontext / Language in Context assembles contributions from the field of Applied Linguistics, construed as a problem oriented, socially rooted, critical form of linguistics. At the focus of analysis is language (use) in the context of social and political processes and discourses. The contributions of the series provide critical analyses and potential solutions, and they engage in discursive negotiations. Particularly (though not exclusively) the following topics are covered by the series: Language use in politics Language policy and linguistic rights Language (use) in organizations and institutions Migration, globalization and multilingualism Language teaching and learning in formal and informal contexts Language use in the classroom Language teaching methodology Language perception, language ideologies and metapragmatic discourse Language, social inequality and discrimination Language and/as empowerment Language and gender Mediality, multimodality and materiality of communication Drawing on a dynamic and interactional notion of context, Sprache im Kontext / Language in Context also means that language and language use are themselves a constitutive part of context (i.e., they are contextualizing factors). The series thus collects particularly monographs and collected volumes that demonstrate how language and language use (as practice or object of discourse) are part and motor of social and political processes, and how it frames (and delimits) the agency and action of social actors.

How can we identify successful linguistic action in recordings of institutional conversations? What is the basis for evaluation and how can it be collected empirically? The contributions analytically elaborate concrete forms of good practice for different institutional settings.

We often acquire new movement patterns under expert guidance. This book is devoted to how this task is accomplished through multimodal means at the linguistic, physical, and visual levels. The Pilates method serves as the situational context. Using linguistic analysis methods and with the help of many example analyses, the practices of instructing in training sessions, guidebooks, and training videos are compared.
