商品簡介
The 11 papers presented here by Kres (intercultural communication, U. of Hildesheim, Germany) add to the literature on totalitarian language in Eastern Europe by presenting both diachronic and synchronic perspectives, by expanding the temporal focus beyond the communist past, and by expanding the linguistic focus beyond strictly political language. Specific topics include deontic modality in expression of tolerance and intolerance in Czech parliamentary debates before and after 1989, a historical perspective on totalitarian discourse in Russian linguistics, changing media discourse in the case of the Czech daily Rude Pravo in the Stalinist years, moralizing speech acts in German and Russian print media during the 2008 South Ossetia War, the existence of totalitarian language in non-totalitarian state, linguistic cultural traditions and contemporary metaphors in environmental discourse in Russia, and gender discourse from Czech politicians and their partners.
