  Wie formt Sprache unsere Identität? Wie inszenieren wir verschiedene Identitäten durch Sprache? Welche Normen bestimmen unseren Sprachgebrauch - und wie verändern sich diese im Lauf der Zeit, in Abhängigkeit von den beteiligten Akteur:innen? Was verraten historische Quellen über die damals Schreibenden und ihre Schreibpraktiken?
  Der Sammelband widmet sich diesen und weiteren Fragen zur Rolle von Sprache in gesellschaftlichen und technologischen Wandelprozessen. Er umfasst deutsch- und englischsprachige Beiträge, die interessante Einblicke in die Variabilität von Einzelsprachen bieten und sich in drei Teile gliedern: Sprachgebrauch und Sprachidentitäten in historischen Schriftzeugnissen (Teil I), Sprachgebrauch im Spannungsfeld von Norm, Variation und Didaktik (Teil II) und Sprachgebrauch, Sprachidentitäten und Indexikalität im Wandel (Teil III). Ergänzend dazu wird in der Einleitung erläutert, welches Konzept von Sprachidentität dem Sammelband zugrunde liegt und welche Argumente dafür sprechen, von mehreren Sprachidentitäten auszugehen.

  Dogwhistles and Figleaves - How...

  It is widely accepted that political discourse in recent years has become more openly racist and more accepting of wildly implausible conspiracy theories. Dogwhistles and Figleaves explores ways in which such changes—both of which defied previously settled norms of political speech—have been brought about. Jennifer Saul shows that two linguistic devices, dogwhistles and figleaves, have played a crucial role. Some dogwhistles (such as "88", used by Nazis online to mean "Heil Hitler") serve to disguise messages that would otherwise be rejected as unacceptable, allowing them to be transmitted surreptitiously. Other dogwhistles (like the 1988 "Willie Horton" ad) work by influencing people in ways that they are not aware of, and which they would likely reject were they aware. Figleaves (such as "just asking questions") take messages that could easily be recognized as unacceptable, and provide just enough cover that people become more willing to accept them. Saul argues that these devices are important for the spread of racist discourse. She also shows how they contribute to the transmission of norm-violating discourse more generally, focusing on the case of wildly implausible conspiracist speech. This book is the first full-length exploration of dogwhistles and figleaves. It offers an illuminating and disturbing view of the workings of contemporary political discourse.
