Leveraging Biodiversity Action From Plural Values: Transformations of Governance Systems
(2021-06-04)
In this paper, we argue that leveraging plural values into action for biodiversity requires a focus on transforming the biodiversity governance system. We draw on Donella Meadows’ concept of Leverage Points, which outlines the “depth” of intervention in order to shift a system toward sustainability. Engaging with deep leverage points (system intent and goals) is argued to lead to greater transformation than engaging with shallow leverage points (system design and materials). We outline how embracing plural values of ...

Scaling the impact of sustainability initiatives: a typology of amplification processes
(2020-05-14)
Amplifying the impact of sustainability initiatives to foster transformations in urban and rural contexts, has received increasing attention in resilience, social innovation, and sustainability transitions research. We review the literature on amplification frameworks and propose an integrative typology of eight processes, which aim to increase the impact of such initiatives. The eight amplification processes are: stabilizing, speeding up, growing, replicating, transferring, spreading, scaling up, and scaling deep. ...

Bridge over troubled water: managing compatibility and conflict among thought collectives in sustainability science
(2021-12-01)
Sustainability transformations call forth new forms and systems of knowledge across society. However, few tools and processes exist for promoting dialogue among different interests and normative stances in knowledge co-creation. In this article, we build on the notion of thought collectives to argue that understanding and moderating normative tensions are necessary if sustainability science is to provide successful solutions. Drawing on an analysis of the normative tensions between rival high-tech and low-tech thought ...

Las tradiciones discursivas
(Walter de Gruyter, 2021-01-18)
La tradición discursiva como molde cultural para la configuración de discursos y textos es un concepto clave de la lingüística del hablar. Este concepto, derivado del modelo de las reglas y tradiciones del hablar de Coseriu, desempeña además un papel primordial en la lingüística del texto y la pragmalingüística, debido al potencial analítico y la agudeza explicativa que proporciona el modelo coseriano. Es capaz de diferenciar claramente entre la historicidad y la universalidad del hablar y, asimismo, permite identificar ...

Eugenio Coseriu and pragmatics
(Walter de Gruyter, 2021-09-07)
Eugenio Coseriu’s linguistic thinking is essentially based on the concept of speaking as activity. This understanding is absolutely central to Coseriu’s system of linguistic competence, whose core are the rules and traditions that govern language use. Pragmatics is thus not a discipline focused on the analysis of specific linguistic structures of the language system (langue), but rather a perspective on language (Verschueren 1995: 11, 2009: 14–16) that explores its use and its potential in speaking as an activity ...

Significado y efectos de sentido. El gérondif francés en el contexto románico
(2021)
En las lenguas románicas una función central de los gerundios consiste en crear vínculos o junciones (Raible 1992) entre acciones diversas en el marco oracional. El concepto de junción implica que dos acciones –la actividad expresada por el gerundio y la actividad de la oración matriz– se agrupan para formar una unidad estructurada. El punto de partida de nuestro estudio es el análisis del gérondif en francés, cuyo perfil semántico-pragmático se elabora en primer lugar y constituye la base de un estudio contrastivo ...

Goal prevalence and situation types: An empirical analysis of differences in Greek and German motion event descriptions
(Bloomsbury Academic, 2020)
The aim of the current study is to investigate crosslinguistic differences in the encoding of motion events and the distribution of their constituent parts, that is, the manner as well as the path focusing mainly on the Goal component. In the abundant literature on the effect of the lexicalization pattern of a language (Satellite- versus Verb-framed), only a few studies have systematically taken into account the specific properties of the situation underlying a verbalization. With a focus on German and Greek, we ...

Las tradiciones discursivas: competencia y complejidad
(Peter Lang, 2020)
La tradición discursiva como concepto es un saber cultural que rige la configuración de textos y, por esta razón, es un componente esencial de la competencia textual. Las tradiciones discursivas son un concepto cultural, textual y pragmalingüístico y comprenden tres dimensiones: la culturalidad, la textualidad y la cooperatividad. Como estas tres dimensiones implican diferentes grados de complejidad, la tradición discursiva es por tanto un concepto que aúna la competencia textual con el concepto de la complejidad ...

Linguistic Norm in Linguistic Pragmatics
(De Gruyter, 2020)
In linguistic pragmatics norms can be seen as traditions that guide verbal interaction. In order to pin down the notion of tradition, we use a model of linguistic pragmatics that goes back to Eugenio Coseriu’s system of linguistic competence and to the concept of tradition elaborated by Ramón Menéndez Pidal, thus bringing together linguistics and philology. The functioning of norms as traditions is illustrated with two examples: with a routine of verbal politeness and with a narration style that is based on the aspect ...

Markierte Vorfeldbesetzung im Neuhochdeutschen. Zur Grammatikalisierung einer neuen Vorfeldstruktur
(Weidler Buchverlag, 2020)
Die Untersuchung der markierten Vorfeldbesetzung erfreut sich seit längerer Zeit einer gewissen Beliebtheit. Dies hat vor allem theoretische Gründe: Als Defaultfall gilt die Besetzung des Vorfelds durch eine Konstituente / ein Satzglied, weshalb sich für jede Grammatiktheorie bzw. jeden Grammatikansatz die Frage stellt, wie man mit ,abweichenden‘ Belegen / Beispielen umgehen soll. Für sprachhistorische Arbeiten stellt sich zusätzlich die Frage, wie sich das „Vorfeld als Baustelle des Deutschen“ mit oder ohne mehrfache ...
