Working Conditions during the COVID 19 pandemic
Full text linkThe most recent estimates from representative household surveys indicate that, four decades later, WFH accounted for a relatively marginal share of paid labour in the EU, with fewer than
one in twenty employees reporting working in this way regularly in 2018, and less than one in ten occasionally.
This all changed, abruptly and of necessity, in the first semester of 2020 as a result of public health measures designed to stem the spread of COVID 19. With many workplaces in enforced closure, a vast ad hoc social experiment took place in which WFH became the
customary mode of working for many employees with hitherto limited or no experience of working in this way. First estimates show that the share of those regularly working from home
has increased anywhere from 3 5% to a third or more of employees at EU level, with significant variations across member states, and between North and South, and between East and West.
The share of those working from home in April 2020 was over 30% in all but four Member States. Nonetheless, the range of incidence between
countries was wide (from 18% in Romania to 59% in Finland). The highest
proportions of employees working from home were in the Nordic and Benelux countries, reflecting findings from the EWCS and LFS on the relatively high pre outbreak prevalence of telework in these countries (EF online survey)
Inszenierungen direkter Rede in mündlichen Interaktionen
No full textIn this paper, we analyse four different linguistic devices that partic-ipants use to contextualize direct speech in German everyday conver-sations. Three of them are so-called quotative constructions (nach dem Motto, von wegen, ich so/sie so) whereas one device is a prosodic one. We show that each device is specialized for specific types of direct speech. Our main claim is that humans use direct reported dialogue in everyday conversation not only to give information on what someone (or them-selves) has said or thought, but also to accomplish interactional activities such as evaluating the participants of the reported speech and making their own speech more appealing by inventing dialogues and scenes which never took place. Based on an analysis of German spoken-language corpora, we argue that most instances of direct speech do not serve to report true dialogues (or dialogues speakers believe to be true), but rather can be viewed as a way of lying for a good purpose, specifically to make conversation more lively and appealing

No full textDer Sprechstil Dieter Bohlens : prosodische, lexikalische und rhetorische Aspekte
No full textIm vorliegenden Beitrag geht es um die sprachlichen Besonderheiten Dieter Bohlens bei der Bewertung der Kandidaten der Casting-Show „Deutschland sucht den Superstar“. Nach einer kurzen Beschreibung der Struktur der Sendung, des Gesprächstyps Bewertung und des Begriffs Sprechstil werden die wichtigsten Stilmittel der Sprache Bohlens analysiert. Dabei konzentrieren wir uns auf (i) die Aufteilung des Gesprochenen in Intonationsphrasen und deren Beziehung zur Syntax, (ii) Aspekte der Aussprache und der Wortwahl und (iii) die von ihm verwendeten rhetorischen Mittel (Metaphern und Vergleiche). Diese sprachlichen Mittel sind konstitutive Elemente für die Image-Konstruktion Dieter Bohlens

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
