Zum Perspektivierungs- und Emotionspotenzial von Textanfängen : eine Analyse im Rahmen der kritischen Kognitionslinguistik

The aim of the following paper is to investigate the perspectivity and emotional potential of text beginnings and their influence on the semantics of the text and its reception. The theoretical investigations based on the assumptions of Cognitive Critical Linguistics proposed by M. Schwarz-Friesel concentrate on the description of perspectivity and evaluation phenomenon, their interaction and correlates on the level of lexis, syntax and text. The special attention will be paid to the perspectivity potential of reference expressions. The main part of the paper focuses on the analysis of two different perspectivity strategies in the beginnings of press articles concerning the migration crisis (der Spiegel, die Zeit, BILD).
