The series Sprache und Wissen ["Language and Knowledge"] is a publication platform for high-quality papers on German linguistics with interdisciplinary focus. The series takes on current trends in the scientific community from a linguistic perspective in order to show how general and expert knowledge are made possible through language and gain perspective through it. The linguistic treatment of discursive knowledge formats aims to advance the field of linguistics and other sciences interested in language in an innovative way. The series presents papers with semantic, pragmatic, and syntactic approaches from the perspective of variety-specific as well as text- and discourse-linguistic cognitive interest. The series welcomes monographs as well as systematically-structured anthologies and conference proceedings.

Sowohl Gespräche als auch Texte sind keinesfalls monomodale Kommunikationsanlässe und -angebote, sondern werden in Gestalt multimodaler Praktiken und Artefakte wahrnehmbar. Neben Sprache tragen Ausdrucksmodalitäten wie Gestik, Mimik, Körperhaltung und -bewegung, Stimme, also ganz grundsätzlich Körperlichkeit sowie Schriftbildlichkeit, Bilder, Emojis und mehr wesentlich zur Bedeutungsentfaltung im Kontext bei. Dieser Band nimmt sich der Bestimmung des Verhältnisses von Pragmatik- und Multimodalitätsforschung sowie einer multimodalen Pragmatik an. Die Zusammenführung von Studien zur multimodalen Pragmatik gibt einen Überblick über aktuelle und innovative Forschungsarbeiten, die sich aus einer pragmatischen Perspektive für multimodale Phänomene interessieren.
