Promotionsprojekte
- (in progress) The reuse of Classical myths in contemporary African-American literature: a cognitive approach – Giulia Sperduti
The project focuses on the reuse of ancient myth in the works of the African-American poet Rita Doves, from a cognitive perspective. The research and the linguistic analysis strongly revolve around the cognitive mappings emerging from Rita Dove’s narrative constructs, names, and words, with respect to the ancient Greek texts. Central concepts of cognitive-linguistic studies, such as the Conceptual Metaphor Theory and Conceptual Integration Theory are applied in order to explore cognitive models and structures at the base of Rita Dove’s creative process of re-elaboration, re-conceptualization, and re-adapation of mythical episodes and stories.
- (in progress) A Study of the Interactional Functions of Tag Questions in Jordanian Dialects in Irbid City from a Multimodal Perspective - Juman Al-qaoud
Based on transcribed audio and video recordings of casual face-to-face Jordanian Arabic conversation of 24 university students in Irbid City, this study explores the role of linguistic structures, prosodic and visual features as well as their joint effect on the construction of the different forms and interactional functions of tag questions in three Jordanian Arabic dialects. This study adopts the methodologies of conversation analysis and interactional linguistics and aims to overcome the lack of research on multimodality and tag questions in Jordanian Arabic interaction.
- (in progress) Physical objects recalled via words, image and sound in forensic science movies: modelling the cross-modal construction of co-referential chains- Pinelopi Ioannidou
The project revolves around multimodal communication and in particular on multimodal and cross-modal references to objects in forensic science movies. The focus is how words mentioning and referring to objects are linked with diegetic images depicting the objects as well as diegetic sounds produced by the objects to constitute anaphoric expressions in co-referential chains with respect to the viewers’ perception. By implementing semantic, pragmatic, and cognitive frameworks, in combination with concepts related to telecinematic discourse, this study explores the complex processes the viewers undergo that lead them to construe the meaning of multimodal cues and connect the modal elements anaphorically to the given referents.
Preliminary studies
- Manual annotations of more than 3.500 anaphoric expressions with people as referents in 6 short crime stories (annotations by Pinelopi Ioannidou and Zala Salarzai; coordination by Anna Bonifazi)
Kooperationen
- Cologne Myth network
After its inaugurating meeting in February 2019, the international and interdisciplinary research group “Cologne Mythological Network” was established with the aim of bringing together scholars with different academic backgrounds who share a common interest in myth and mythology. The first outcome of the group’s work has been the research seminar series Ancient Myths in Modern Art: Comparative Perspectives on Micro- and Macro-Structures, organized by (Prof. Anna Bonifazi) and Comparative Literature (Prof. Joachim Harst). The research seminar series has not only brought together speakers from different departments of the University of Cologne, but also from other academic institutions in Cologne, as well as from other parts of Germany and Europe. The group is currently planning further events dealing with myth and mythology, maintaining its highly interdisciplinary perspective and international character; anyone interested in past and future activities and events may contact Riccardo Ginevra (riccginevra[at]gmail.com) and Penelope Kolovou (penelope.kolovou[at]uni-bonn.de), coordinators of the group.
