2nd Call for Papers:
Sektion 9, Frankoromanistiktag Kassel
Eine grundlegende Funktion von Kommunikation besteht darin, die Emotionen und Haltungen der eigenen Person dem Gesprächspartner mitzuteilen. Diese emotive oder expressive Funktion der Sprache gilt als anthropologische Konstante, die allerdings historisch-kulturell unterschiedlich ausgeformt wird (Bühler 1999 (1934), Jakobson 2007 (1960), Pustka 2015).
Im Zentrum der Sektion steht die Frage, in welcher Weise neue digitale Formate

According to Iedema (2003), resemiotization provides the analytical means for tracing how semiotics are translated from one into the other as social processes unfold, as well as for asking why these semiotics (rather than others) are mobilized to do certain things at certain times.
In fact, as Kress and Van Leeuwen (1996: 37) points out, transcoding between a range of semiotic modes represents a more adequate understanding of representation and communication. For this reason, over the past de
