This volume is a collection of articles which present the results of investigations into the grammar, semantics and pragmatics of deictic expressions in several languages. Special emphasis is placed on contrastive studies that take cognitive and cultural context into account. Both the empirical and theoretical studies focus on the ways in which spatial, temporal, personal and textual entities are conceptualised and referred to. The cognitive approach proves to be a promising perspective combining aspects of perception, reasoning and linguistic expression to reveal what seems to be at the very heart of deictics.

Seminar paper from the year 2003 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Linguistics, grade: 1,0 (A), Free University of Berlin (Institute for English Philology), course: Lexical Semantics, language: English, abstract: [...] Who are the speaker and the addressee? When and where did the utterance take place? The tokens “I”, “you”, “next week” and “here” are deictic expressions. According to Charles J. Fillmore (FILLMORE 1997: §1) “[d]eixis can be defined as the anchorage of an utterance in the extralinguistic context.” Anderson ́s and Keenan ́s definition (1985) is similar to Fillmore ́s: “Following standard usage, we consider as deictic expressions (or deictics for short) those linguistic elements whose interpretation in simple sentences makes essential reference to properties of the extralinguistic context of the utterance in which they occur.”1 (ANDERSON and KEENAN 1985: 259) The “most frequently quoted definition” (LENZ 2003: VII) of deixis comes from John Lyons (1977): “By deixis is meant the location and identification of persons, objects, events, processes and activities being talked about, or referred to, in relation to the spatiotemporal context created and sustained by the act of utterance and the participation in it, typically, of a single speaker and at least one addressee.” (Lyons 1977: 637) The definitions show that deixis does not merely belong to the field of semantics. The use of deictic elements depends on a particular context. Thus, deixis is on the interface of semantics and pragmatics. Since deixis is a universal phenomenon, typologists examine its variations and similarities throughout the languages of the world. The initial example shows that we rely heavily on deictic elements in every-day language. We refer to places, objects, persons, times, and many more things by means of deixis. Therefore, the study of deixis is not only interesting to linguists but to anyone who is engaged in language in general. My approach is to use deictic elements in English as a starting point. I will then move on to compare the strategies of English with those of other languages. My aims are to show how wide the range of deictic elements in human language is and how much the concepts of certain languages vary from what we are used to. There are different types of deixis: The main categories are local deixis, person deixis, social deixis, furthermore time deixis and manner deixis. This paper concentrates on local deixis, “the prototype of deixis” (SENNHOLZ 1985: 168-169). Additionally, a general overview on person and social deixis is provived.

Deixis as a field of research has generated increased interest in recent years. It is crucial for a number of different subdisciplines: pragmatics, semantics, cognitive and contrastive linguistics, to name just a few. The subject is of particular interest to experts and students, philosophers, teachers, philologists, and psychologists interested in the study of their language or in comparing linguistic structures. The different deictic structures – not only the items themselves, but also the oppositions between them – reflect the fact that neither the notions of space, time, person nor our use of them are identical cross-culturally. This diversity is not restricted to the difference between languages, but also appears among related dialects and language varieties. This volume will provide an overview of the field, focusing on Romance languages, but also reaching beyond this perspective. Chapters on diachronic developments (language change), comparisons with other (non-)European languages, and on interfaces with neighboring fields of interest are also included. The editors and authors hope that readers, regardless of their familiarity with Romance languages, will gain new insights into deixis in general, and into the similarities and differences among deictic structures used in the languages of the world.

Wordplay involving several linguistic codes is an important modality of ludic language. This volume offers a multidisciplinary approach to the topic, discussing examples from different epochs, genres, and communicative situations. The contributions illustrate the multi-dimensionality, linguistic make-up, and the special interactive potential of wordplay across linguistic and cultural boundaries, including the challenging practice of translation.

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.

As the legislative bodies of democratic nations, parliaments play a fundamental role in society. Consequently the linguistic practices observed in parliamentary discourse are of importance to everyone. This volume brings together leading researchers in areas of corpus linguistics, big data, parliamentary discourse, and historical linguistics in a truly interdisciplinary exploration at the vanguard of big data and corpus methods with the aim to investigate the intersection between linguistic and social change. Making use of both quantitative and qualitative methods, the studies included in this volume range from a focus on explicitly linguistic phenomena to topics that contribute to our understanding of language and society more generally. It breaks new ground in its critical reflection on the conceptual and methodological challenges of using large corpora of parliamentary discourse to study both the specialised language of parliamentary speech and the societies that the parliaments in question represent and govern.
