Sommario/riassunto

On both sides of the Atlantic, restrictive immigration policies have been framed as security imperatives since the 1990's. This trend accelerated in the aftermath of 9/11 and subsequent terrorist attacks in Europe. In Frontiers of Fear, Ariane Chebel d'Appollonia raises two central questions with profound consequences for national security and



immigration policy: First, does the securitization of immigration issues actually contribute to the enhancement of internal security? Second, does the use of counterterrorist measures address such immigration issues as the increasing number of illegal immigrants, the resilience of ethnic tensions, and the emergence of homegrown radicalization? Chebel d'Appollonia questions the main assumptions that inform political agendas in the United States and throughout Europe, analyzing implementation and evaluating the effectiveness of policies in terms of their stated objectives. She argues that the new security-based immigration regime has proven ineffective in achieving its prescribed goals and even aggravated the problems it was supposed to solve: A security/insecurity cycle has been created that results in less security and less democracy. The excesses of securitization have harmed both immigration and counterterrorist policies and seriously damaged the delicate balance between security and respect for civil liberties.

Sommario/riassunto

Die Studie arbeitet den musterhaften Sprachgebrauch in wissenschaftlichen Texten heraus und beschreibt auf der Basis einer datengeleiteten Korpusanalyse den Wissenschaftsstil auf formaler und pragmatischer Ebene. Mit der theoretischen Einbettung in mehrere linguistische Teildisziplinen leistet das Buch einen wichtigen Beitrag zur Textsortenforschung, zur Normendiskussion und zur Schreibforschung.

The study examines patterns of language usage in scientific texts and describes the academic style based on a data-derived corpus analysis at the formal and pragmatic levels. Theoretically grounded in multiple linguistic subdisciplines, the book offers an important contribution to the description of text types, the discussion of norms, and research on writing.
