Gendern unter soziolinguistischer Perspektive
Gender and humour: The new state of the art
The article presents a research overview on developments in the field of gender and humour over the last fifty years, going back a bit further in relation to literature and film. The research comes mainly from linguistics and communication studies, but also from sociology, psychology, literature and media studies. Most changes lie in the appropriation of multifaceted humorous forms by girls and women. Humour becomes apparent as a component of a s…
Ethnografien und Interaktionsanalysen im schulischen Feld: Diskursive Praktiken und Passungen interdisziplinär
Dieser Band mit Beiträgen aus der Interaktionslinguistik und der qualitativ und ethnografisch ausgerichteten Soziologie und Pädagogik lotet aus, wie Ethnografien und Interaktionsanalysen zur Rekonstruktion der Herstellung sozialer Ordnung in Unterricht und Schule und - weiter gefasst - zur Erzeugung von Bildungsungleichheiten beitragen können. Die im Band vereinten Studien zeigen, dass mikroanalytische Ansätze musterhafte Prozesse innerhalb des s…
Einführung in die Konversationsanalyse
Gender-Sternchen, Binnen-I oder generisches Maskulinum, ... (Akademische) Textstile der Personenreferenz als Registrierungen
For more than 40 years, a debate on gender-related person references has been taking place in the German-speaking world. My contribution starts with a differentiation of four registers, which are currently practiced in writing and have developed specific reasoning discourses and specific social contexts of usage, as I try to show. I am going to examine these four styles of gendered person reference as “registers” in the sense of anthropological l…
Oral genres of humor: On the dialectic of genre knowledge and creative authoring
The article discusses humorous conversational activities ((e.g. jokes, teasing, joint fantasizing) in the context of genre theory. The high degree of creativity, emergent construction and artistry typical of humor call for a flexible concept of genre which makes sense of modifications and transgressions in communicative processes. Some forms of conversational humor are generic, for example, standardized jokes, joint fantasizing or teasing. Other …

Ritual and style across cultures
Pragmatics of performance and the analysis of conversational humor
In this paper, I combine pragmatic theorizing with empirical interaction analysis to analyze conversational humor. By taking dialogic structures and the level of performance (utterance formulation, conversational sequencing and emergent genre construction) into consideration, I also hope to offer insights for cognitive linguistics. One key to performance analysis is that utterances always provide information, often called contextualization or fra…

Gender and joking: On the complexities of women's image politics in humorous narratives
Spaß Verstehen: Zur Pragmatik von konversationellem Humor
The volume investigates various genres and types of activity associated with joking in everyday interaction situations. It is an attempt to distinguish characteristic differences between teasing, joshing, leg-pulling, parody, irony, dry humour and many other activities, and to identify the inference processes involved in 'getting the joke'. Dimensions of playful communication given special emphasis are its function as a relation indicator and as …

Die Gesprachsanalysen der humoristischen Aktivitaten werden auch im Rahmen der Aushandlung sozialer Identitaten betrachtet.

Impoliteness and Conversational Joking: On Relational Politics
In this article the attempt is made to conceptualize politeness as a processual interaction phenomenon whose power to define social relationships is observable in humorous exchanges. Politeness and face-work are differentiated ; I distinguish between marked positive and negative politeness and other forms of relational work. On the basis of conversational data I show specific socially indicative potentials of humorous communication. Humor can def…

Disagreement and concession in disputes: On the context sensitivity of preference structures
This article discusses disagreement sequences in German and Anglo-American disputes. It is argued that the context sensitivity of preference for agreement with assessments that Pomerantz 1984 found in her data has to be elaborated and extended. My findings suggest that the preference structure can change once a dissent-turn-sequence has been displayed; in this case, opponents are expected to defend their positions. The reduction of reluctance mar…
Kommunikation in Institutionen
Institutionen sind historische Gebilde, in denen Personen miteinander mehr oder weniger geregelten, zweckgerichteten Tätigkeiten nachgehen. Meist stehen die Zwecke im Zusammenhang mit gesellschaftlicher Produktion und Reproduktion, die außerdem kulturell jeweils spezifisch organisiert sind. In vielen Organisationen (Schule, Hochschule, Gericht, Krankenhaus, Sozialamt) werden wichtige Entscheidungen für den sozialen, beruflichen, ökonomischen und …
