Dieser linguistische Sammelband befasst sich aus unterschiedlichen Perspektiven mit einem alltäglichen, zugleich aber gesellschaftlich hochrelevanten Phänomen: der Liebe. Dabei geht es um die Frage, wie Liebe kommunikativ hergestellt, verhandelt, gefestigt und gepflegt wird und zwar in ganz unterschiedlichen Beziehungskonstellationen. Gemeinsam ist allen Beiträgen das Anliegen, Muster der aktuellen wie historischen Liebes- bzw. Beziehungskommunikation herauszuarbeiten.
