The goal of this monograph is a comprehensive analysis of understatements and other forms of non-direct speech (hedges) in modern English. It is based on a multi-level approach, including philosophical, cultural, and socio-psychological arguments. The main part consists of an investigation of the linguistic restrictions for understatements and hedges to be formed by means of the following grammatical categories: negation of predicates, gradation of predicates, modalization of affirmative sentences by means of parenthetical verbs, modal adverbs, modal verbs, and questions Language and languages LANGUAGE ARTS & DISCIPLINES / Linguistics / Psycholinguistics bisacsh English language / Spoken English fast English language / Syntax fast Figures of speech fast National characteristics, English fast Understatement fast Englisch Linguistik Sprache Figures of speech Understatement English language Spoken English National characteristics, English English language Syntax Englisch (DE-588)4014777-0 gnd rswk-swf Understatement (DE-588)4205467-9 gnd rswk-swf Verbale Äußerung (DE-588)4130905-4 gnd rswk-swf Vorsicht (DE-588)4428928-5 gnd rswk-swf Sprachgebrauch (DE-588)4191506-9 gnd rswk-swf Syntax (DE-588)4058779-4 gnd rswk-swf 1\p (DE-588)4113937-9 Hochschulschrift gnd-content Verbale Äußerung (DE-588)4130905-4 s Vorsicht (DE-588)4428928-5 s Englisch (DE-588)4014777-0 s 2\p DE-604 Sprachgebrauch (DE-588)4191506-9 s Understatement (DE-588)4205467-9 s 3\p DE-604 Syntax (DE-588)4058779-4 s 4\p DE-604 http://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site&db=nlebk&db=nlabk&AN=409241 Aggregator Volltext 1\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk 2\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk 3\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk 4\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk |
