Frames und sprachliches Wissen
Kognitive Aspekte der semantischen Kompetenz
[Frames and Linguistic Knowledge]
Series: Sprache und Wissen 2
Aims and Scope
The book is concerned with frame theory, which in recent years has experienced an immense growth in interest, not only in Germanic Linguistics. Frames are knowledge structures in the long-term memory which are of relevance for understanding expressions in language. Thus, for example, the gratuity frame makes knowledge available about eating in a restaurant. Frames can also be deployed as analytical tools. This is demonstrated using the metaphor of "financial investors as locusts" coined by the then-SPD Minister of Labour Franz Müntefering.
