Book Description
Die Reihe Formelhafte Sprache / Formulaic Language bietet ein integratives Forum für innovative Publikationen, die sprachliche, kognitive und konzeptuelle Vorgeformtheit in den Mittelpunkt ihrer Betrachtungen rücken. Sie ist für Studien offen, die sich mit Vorgeprägtheit, Musterhaftigkeit bzw. Formelhaftigkeit auf allen sprachlichen Ebenen (im System wie in der Sprachverwendung) und außersprachlicher Natur (etwa bei der kulturbasierten und kulturspezifischen Wissensgestaltung und -tradierung) beschäftigen. Untersucht werden die Entstehung, die Dynamik und das Funktionieren von unterschiedlichen Ausprägungen des Formelhaften in solchen Bereichen wie Lexikon und Grammatik, Wortbildung und Phraseologie, schriftliche Texte/Textsorten und mündliche Gespräche/kommunikative Gattungen, Diskurse und Textkorpora, Stereotypenentstehung und Stigmatisierung, Kognition und kulturelles Gedächtnis, verbale und visuelle Organisation des Wissens, Spracherwerb usw. Publiziert werden Monografien und thematisch gebundene Sammelbände, die ihren Schwerpunkt auf die theoretische und empirische Erforschung sprachlicher, kognitiver und konzeptueller Verfestigungen im diachronen und/oder synchronen Schnitt sowie den praktischen Fragen ihrer didaktischen Vermittlung legen. Wir begrüßen gebrauchsbasierte Untersuchungen aus den Bereichen der Grammatikalisierung, der Lexikalisierung, der Konstruktionsgrammatiken, der Korpus- und Computerlinguistik, der maschinellen Sprachverarbeitung (NLP) und der Digital Humanities. Die Publikationssprachen sind Deutsch und Englisch. Alle Beiträge werden mithilfe eines wissenschaftlichen Beirats peer-reviewed. Wissenschaftlicher Beirat Harald Burger (Zürich, Schweiz) Joan L.

Book Description
A substantial proportion of our everyday language is 'formulaic', that is, it consists of oft-repeated chunks. From pause fillers such as you know, to phrases such as Many thanks!, Is this seat taken? or strong tea, they form a phenomenon central in language. This important new book investigates formulaic language from the point of view of language change. Employing a novel quantitative and data-led approach, it traces and analyses change in phraseology across 20th Century German as used in Switzerland. Drawing on nearly 20 million words of textual evidence, it shows that social and cultural change in the speech community is the predominant motivator of change, though other factors are also at play. The book demonstrates a close link between language change and the culture of the speech community, arguing that this has repercussions for the study of language in general, as well as the study of society and history.

Book Description
This book is the second of the two-volume collection of papers on formulaic language. The collection is among the first in the field. The authors of the papers in this volume represent a diverse group of international scholars in linguistics and psychology. The language data analyzed come from a variety of languages, including Arabic, Japanese, Polish, and Spanish, and include analyses of styles and genres within these languages. While the first volume focuses on the very definition of linguistic formulae and on their grammatical, semantic, stylistic, and historical aspects, the second volume explores how formulae are acquired and lost by speakers of a language, in what way they are psychologically real, and what their functions in discourse are. Since most of the papers are readily accessible to readers with only basic familiarity with linguistics, the book may be used in courses on discourse structure, pragmatics, semantics, language acquisition, and syntax, as well as being a resource in linguistic research.

Book Description
The notion of formulaicity has received increasing attention in disciplines and areas as diverse as linguistics, literary studies, art theory and art history. In recent years, linguistic studies of formulaicity have been flourishing and the very notion of formulaicity has been approached from various methodological and theoretical perspectives and with various purposes in mind. The linguistic approach to formulaicity is still in a state of rapid development and the objective of the current volume is to present the current explorations in the field. Papers collected in the volume make numerous suggestions for further development of the field and they are arranged into three complementary parts. The first part, with three chapters, presents new theoretical and methodological insights as well as their practical application in the development of custom-designed software tools for identification and exploration of formulaic language in texts. Two papers in the second part explore formulaic language in the context of language learning. Finally, the third part, with three chapters, showcases descriptive research on formulaic language conducted primarily from the perspectives of corpus linguistics and translation studies. The volume will be of interest to anyone involved in the study of formulaic language either from a theoretical or a practical perspective.

Book Description
The existence of formulaic patterns has been attested to all languages of the world. However, systematic research in this field has been focused on only a few European standard languages with a rich literary tradition and a high degree of written norm. It was on the basis of these data that the theoretical framework and methodological approaches were developed. The volume shifts this focus by centering the investigation on new data, including data from lesser-used languages and dialects, extra-european languages, linguistic varieties mostly used in spoken domains as well as at previous historical stages of language development. Their inclusion challenges the existing postulates at both a theoretical and methodological level. Areas of interest include the following questions: What is formulaic in these types of languages, varieties and dialects? Are the criteria developed within the framework of phraseological research applicable to new data? Can any specific types of formulaic patterns and/or any specific features of regular (already known) types of formulaic patterns be observed and how do they emerge? What methodological difficulties need to be overcome when dealing with new data?

Book Description
A considerable proportion of our everyday language is "formulaic". It is predictable in form and idiomatic--apparently stored in fixed or semi-fixed chunks. This book explores the nature and purposes of formulaic language, and looks for patterns across the research findings from the fields of discourse analysis, first language acquisition, language pathology and applied linguistics. It gradually builds up a unified description and explanation of formulaic language as a linguistic solution to a larger, non-linguistic, problem, the promotion of self.

Book Description
To apply the same approaches to analysing spoken and written formulaic language is problematic; to do so masks the fact that the contextual meaning of spoken formulaic language is encoded, to a large extent, in its prosody. In The Prosody of Formulaic Sequences, Phoebe Lin offers a new perspective on formulaic language, arguing that while past research often treats formulaic language as a lexical phenomenon, the phonological aspect of it is a more fundamental facet. This book draws its conclusions from three original, empirical studies of spoken formulaic language, assessing intonation unit boundaries as well as features such as tempo and stress placement. Across all studies, Lin considers questions of methodology and conceptual framework. The corpus-based descriptions of prosody outlined in this book not only deepen our understanding of the nature of formulaic language but have important implications for English Language Teaching and automatic speech synthesis.
