Urban Voices: The Sociolinguistics, Grammar and Pragmatics of Spoken Russian, Hardback Book

Urban Voices: The Sociolinguistics, Grammar and Pragmatics of Spoken Russian Hardback

Edited by Nicole Richter, Nadine Thielemann

Part of the Potsdam Linguistic Investigations series

Hardback

Description

The volume Urban Voices presents studies, analysing how speakers of Russian convey social meanings across a variety of speech situations.

Rooted in quantitative and qualitative methodological frameworks, the contributions show how various linguistic, paralinguistic and pragmatic means relate to sociolinguistic dimensions (e.g. display the social, ethnic, local identity of a speaker, the institutional character of a communicative situation).

The analyses are the results of the research network Urban Voices, which focuses on the sociolinguistics, grammar and pragmatics of spoken Russian and investigates its linguistic and communicative diversity.

The contributors are Olga Blinova, Nina Bodganova-Beglarian, Beatrix Kreß, Lenore Grenoble, Peter Kosta, Elena Markasova, Ludger Paschen, Nicole Richter, Christian Sappok, Tatiana Sherstinova and Nadine Thielemann.
