Urban Voices: The Sociolinguistics, Grammar and Pragmatics of Spoken Russian (Potsdam Linguistic Investigations / Potsdamer Linguistische Untersuchungen / Recherches Linguistiques à Potsdam Book 25)

The volume 'Urban Voices' presents studies, analysing how speakers of Russian convey social meanings across a variety of speech situations. Rooted in quantitative and qualitative methodological frameworks, the contributions show how various linguistic, paralinguistic and pragmatic means relate to sociolinguistic dimensions (e.g. display the social, ethnic, local identity of a speaker, the institutional character of a communicative situation). The analyses are the results of the research network Urban Voices, which focuses on the sociolinguistics, grammar and pragmatics of spoken Russian and investigates its linguistic and communicative diversity. The contributors are Olga Blinova, Nina Bodganova-Beglarian, Beatrix Kress, Lenore Grenoble, Peter Kosta, Elena Markasova, Ludger Paschen, Nicole Richter, Christian Sappok, Tatiana Sherstinova and Nadine Thielemann Table of Content 6 Introduction and Overview • Nadine Thelemann/Nicole Richter 8 Sociolinguistics 14 Studying Linguistic Variation and Communicative Diversity from the One Day of Speech-Corpus • Tatiana Sherstinova 16 Addressing by Voice: Deixis and Design • Christian Sappok 38 Grammar 66 Constructional Patterns Emerging in Talk-In-Interaction – Some Preliminary Observations on the Grammar of govorit’ in Colloquial Russian • Nadine Thelemann 68 Побудительные реплики и их компоненты в русском устном диалоге: количественное описание • О.
