Funktionen, Konstellationen und Mittel der Wiedergabe – Ein dreidimensionales textpragmatisches Modell

Abstract

Abstract Starting out from examples of citing in scientific texts and based on the critical assessment of linguistic accounts, the paper argues for a domain specific pragmatic account of (speech) representation in texts. It introduces a new three-dimensional model that identifies different kinds of representation drawing on the linguistic means of presenting the speech of others, the specific functions in narrative, reporting, and argumentative texts, and the varying communicative constellations – i. e. whether literal, oral, or mental, original or imagined sources are (re-)presented. By focusing on the different functions and constellations in domains like science, journalism and literature the model can serve as a framework for future comparative investigations of (speech) representation.
