Vorwurfsaktivitäten in der Alltagsinteraktion : Grammatische, Prosodische, Rhetorisch-Stilistische und Interaktive Verfahren Bei der Konstitution Kommunikativer Muster und Gattungen

On the basis of a study of reproach activities ('in situ reproaches', 'mock reproaches' and reconstructions of previous reproach interactions in 'complaint stories') the monograph examines prosodic, grammatical, rhetorical/stylistic processes and their functions in everyday usage. Following an analysis of the constitution of these reproach genres the study charts the consequences for a theory of communicative practice and discusses aspects such as the genre-specific function of grammatical structures, the interaction between prosodic and syntactic procedures in the production of communicative meaning, and the role of indexical signs in the negotiation of meaning.Günthner, Susanne is the author of 'Vorwurfsaktivitäten in der Alltagsinteraktion : Grammatische, Prosodische, Rhetorisch-Stilistische und Interaktive Verfahren Bei der Konstitution Kommunikativer Muster und Gattungen', published 2000 under ISBN 9783484312210 and ISBN 3484312211.
