Wissen durch Sprache: Theorie, Praxis und Erkenntnisinteresse des Forschungsnetzwerkes "Sprache und Wissen"

In this volume, the research network Language and Knowledge presents theoretical and methodological foundations of research into the constitution of knowledge in linguistic formations. A particular focus is placed on the concepts of knowledge and discourse, alongside methodological issues from conversational analysis, cognitive grammar and construction grammar. The descriptive instruments presented are demonstrated in numerous individual analyses from the fields of nanotechnology, biomedicine, politics, education, art, religion, mathematics, law and economics.
