"Serbia and the European Union": Discursive framing and imprinting effects on recurrent speech patterns used in the German press - explored through a cognitive sociolinguistic approach

Résumé

This communication combines several research fields which are in the centre of the congress. At first, it illustrates the outlines of a(n) (interdisciplinary) theoretical framework which interrelates concepts partially developed in the environment of cognitive sciences (i.a. cognitive psychology and cognitive linguistics: scripts, scenes, schemes ; prototypes / semantic frames ; usage-based models of language) with concepts and perspectives that are more and more considered in the environment of sociolinguistic research (i.a. discourse analysis and corpus linguistics: the discursive influence on socio-cognitive patterns / frequency effects, salience…). This cognitive (and discursive) sociolinguistic approach will then be applied in the context of an empirical study that explores a corpus consisting of recently published German news articles which deal with the wide-ranging topic: “Serbia and the European Union”. The main interest of the communication lies in the analysis of cognitive concepts and representations which are activated by - and therefore related to - recurrent speech patterns (i.a. collocations and further linguistic constructions) and a certain number of highly frequent keywords that are characteristic of this specific corpus (but, of course, non-representative): ‘Serbien’, ‘Europa’, ‘(West)-Balkan’, ‘EU-Osterweiterung’). In order to get empirical insights into these underlying representational concepts, in order to understand the ways in which this specific press discourse (or: virtual corpus) imprints and frames lexical (key-)elements, the research study uses new (‘linguistic’) technologies – the software Sketch-Engine: frequencies, collocational-networks, word-sketches, sketch-differences – and semantic frames as analytical categories.
