  • Fachlexik in Artikeln Über Populäre Musik

Elena Kovtunova Sankt Petersburg 2017 Inhaltsverzeichnis Generating Table of Contents for Word Import ... Einleitung Die vorliegende Masterarbeit untersucht Fachlexik aus dem Fachdiskurs populärer Musik in aktuellen deutschsprachigen Medientexten. Den Forschungsgegenstand bilden Fachwörter im Text: die Funktionen des Fachwortes im Medientext, sprachliche Vorgänge, die die Fachlexik in Artikeln über populäre Musik betreffen, und diskursive Repräsentation der Fachlexik im Kontext. Aktuelle Fachsprachenforschung zeigt, dass Fachlexik ihren Gebrauch nicht auf Fachtexte beschränkt. Es lässt sich beobachten, dass Fachwörter in unterschiedlichen Texten auftreten. Wenn Begriffe in einem massenmedialen Kontext vorkommen, stellt sich die Frage, ob die Einheiten von semantischen Modifikationen betroffen werden können. Vermutlich können Fachwörter determinologisiert und metaphorisiert werden oder Synonymie bzw. Polysemie im Kontext entwickeln. In vorliegender Masterarbeit wird Fachlexik innerhalb des Diskurses populärer Musik betrachtet, d.h. am Beispiel von Artikeln, die eine offene Gesamtheit von Texten
