Sprache im Kontext / Language in Context assembles contributions from the field of Applied Linguistics, construed as a problem oriented, socially rooted, critical form of linguistics. At the focus of analysis is language (use) in the context of social and political processes and discourses. The contributions of the series provide critical analyses and potential solutions, and they engage in discursive negotiations. Particularly (though not exclusively) the following topics are covered by the series:
Drawing on a dynamic and interactional notion of context, Sprache im Kontext / Language in Context also means that language and language use are themselves a constitutive part of context (i.e., they are contextualizing factors). The series thus collects particularly monographs and collected volumes that demonstrate how language and language use (as practice or object of discourse) are part and motor of social and political processes, and how it frames (and delimits) the agency and action of social actors.

This volume focuses on how the Russian media reported on the Russo-Ukrainian War in 2014. It is the first to both quantitatively and qualitatively examine talk shows, which are extremely popular and omnipresent in Russian television. The study shows to what extent these shows were broadcast and which linguistic, acoustic, and visual means they used in order to influence their audiences.
We often acquire new movement patterns under expert guidance. This book is devoted to how this task is accomplished through multimodal means at the linguistic, physical, and visual levels. The Pilates method serves as the situational context. Using linguistic analysis methods and with the help of many example analyses, the practices of instructing in training sessions, guidebooks, and training videos are compared.
