“…After an initial data categorization and quantification (Bauder forthcoming), I organized the data according to emerging themes, narratives and perspectives. I attempted to find intermediary‐level categories that represent a collective knowledge and that are neither entirely abstract nor too context particular for the data to be grouped (Böke et al 2000). In subsequent readings of the material I situated these themes, narratives and perspectives in their textual and temporal contexts.…”

Neoliberalism and the Economic Utility of Immigration: Media Perspectives of Germany's Immigration Law

Germany's new immigration law, which took effect in 2005, was hotly debated over a period of four years. This paper follows the debate on the law through the newsprint media, examines the representation of immigration as an economic utility, and investigates the contents of this economic‐utility perspective of immigration in light of neoliberal restructuring in Germany. The analysis focuses on 609 articles sampled from five major German daily newspapers published between July 2001 and August 2005. A discourse analysis suggests that the newsprint media represented immigration on the one hand as an economic necessity to replenish the labor market and ensure the international competitiveness of key industrial sectors. On the other hand, immigration was depicted as an economic liability that raises unemployment rates and burdens the public welfare system. Although the media emphasized the economic necessity of immigration, the final law does not permit any significant immigration of labor. The paper resolves this contradiction by situating media discourse in a wider context of neoliberal reforms and European Union expansion.

“…For example, discourses can be investigated through the count and analysis of words and "nodal points" (Laclau and Mouffe 1985, p. 112), the exposure of metaphors or the examination of principles of argumentation (Böke et al 2000). Below, I use a so-called topoi analysis, which was pioneered by linguists (Böke et al 2000;Wengeler 1995Wengeler , 2003 and has been applied in empirical studies of immigration discourses in German-speaking countries (Bauder 2008;Wengeler 1995Wengeler , 2000Wengeler , 2003. Topoi is the plural of the Greek word (koinos) topos, representing models of argumentation that express a distinct rhetorical perspective and scheme of thought (Böke et al 2000, pp.…”

“…Discourse analysis can employ different levels of examination, varying methods and diverse theoretical approaches (Fairlcough 1992;Böke et al 2000).

Media representations shape public opinion of immigration, affect policy debate, and influence immigration law. This paper examines media coverage of immigration in the context of the development and conception of the Canadian 2002 Immigration and Refugee Protection Act. The paper performs a topoi analysis on a data set of 490 articles published in five prominent Canadian English-language daily newspapers that address aspects of immigration law. The results reveal that danger is the most frequent and a relatively consistent theme associated with immigration in media coverage. Cultural aspects are relatively unimportant compared to humanitarian, political, and economic considerations.Résumé Les observations des médias forment l'opinion publique sur l'immigration, affectent les débats d'orientation et influencent le droit de l'immigration. Cet article étudie la couverture médiatique de l'immigration dans le contexte du développement et de la conception de la Loi canadienne sur l'immigration et la protection des réfugiés de 2002. Une analyse topoi a été effectuée sur un ensemble de données consistant en 490 articles portant sur des aspects du droit de l'immigration et publiés dans cinq quotidiens canadiens anglais. Les résultats indiquent que le thème qui revient le plus souvent et de façon relativement constante dans la couverture médiatique sur l'immigration est celui du danger. Les aspects culturels de la question semblent peu importants par rapport aux considérations humanitaires, politiques et économiques.

“…Especialmente en los últimos años, el análisis del discurso experimenta un auge en la lingüística, en la cual hay que distinguir entre diferentes tipos: el Critical Discourse Analysis (Fairclough 1995) y la Kritische Diskursanalyse (Jäger 7 2015) se acercan de manera crítica al discurso, mientras que la 'linguistische Diskursanalyse' (Warnke 2007;Warnke/Spitzmüller 2008;Spitzmüller/Warnke 2011;Spieß 2013) carece del factor crítico, siguiendo la 'semántica histórica' (Busse 1987) así como la 'historia de mentalidades' (Hermanns 1995), y se centra en aspectos analítico-descriptivos de un análisis lingüístico basado en textos: (Wrana et al 2014, 113) Aquí intentamos aplicar elementos de este último tipo menos valorizante en su forma contrastiva: el análisis lingüístico-comparativo del discurso es una continuación del análisis lingüístico del discurso por una componente comparativa lingüística y cultural. Mientras que existen unos primeros trabajos de este tipo para la comunidad de discurso alemana en comparación con la austriaca (Böke et al 2000) o polaca (Czachur 2011), dentro de las comunidades de discurso de la Península Ibérica, apenas se encuentran trabajos que enfoquen un análisis lingüístico-comparativo del discurso (Schaffroth 2015;Schrader-Kniffki 2016). Por tanto, este artículo puede contribuir a un primer acercamiento lingüísticocomparativo del análisis del discurso en la romanística.…”

El corazón de la afición está contigo": un acercamiento lingüístico-discursivo a los himnos oficiales de fútbol catalanófonos, lusófonos e hispanófonos en la Península Ibérica Jannis HARJUS (Innsbruck) SummaryBased on the analysis of Portuguese, Spanish, and Catalan anthems of football clubs, this article demonstrates the way Iberian football clubs construct collective identities in a linguistically discursive manner. With special regard to the use of toponyms and quantifiers in this field of text music, the Catalan discourse community of the Iberoromania differs from the Castilian discourses in central, southern, and northern Spain. For the most part, however, the analysis that is predominantly conducted in a text-centric and discourse-linguistic way shows convergences in the use of lexical fields such as war or virtue as well as personal and possessive pronouns in the anthems of all three languages. This result underscores the similarities between the Portuguese and Spanish discourse communities, the latter being extended by means of the Catalan region.
