It adopts an integrative approach, positioning the main findings of economics in a broader context. It critically reflects on theories from a philosophical standpoint and compares them to approaches found in the social sciences, while at the same time highlighting the implications for the design of legal systems and business practices.Intended for undergraduate students, the book presents brief examples and comprehensive case studies to help them grasp the real-world implications of the theories. As such, it is suitable for an applied, yet technically precise approach to teaching microeconomics, as well as for a critical review of the economic mainstream. Starting from the question as to why and how societies organize economic activity, it analyzes the potential and limitations of various types of market with regard to alleviating scarcity and achieving distributive objectives, from an institutional perspective. 410 0$aClassroom Companion: Economics Ser. 606 $aMikroökonomie$2gnd 606 $aMicroeconomics 608 $aLehrbuch$2gnd-content 608 $aElectronic books 615 7$aMikroökonomie 615 0$aMicroeconomics 676 $a338.5 686 $aQC 100$2rvk 686 $a83.11$2bkl 700 $aKolmar$b Martin$0529015 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 912 $a9910510552303321 996 $aPrinciples of Microeconomics$92225286 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03481nam 2200577 450 001 9910812672003321 005 20230814235207.0 010 $a3-11-056043-7 010 $a3-11-056316-9 024 7 $a10.1515/9783110563160 035 $a(CKB)4340000000210800 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC5116193 035 $a(DE-B1597)487461 035 $a(OCoLC)1009212562 035 $a(DE-B1597)9783110563160 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL5116193 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr11462282 035 $a(EXLCZ)994340000000210800 100 $a20171125h20182018 uy 0 101 0 $ager 135 $aurcnu|||||||| 181 $2rdacontent 182 $2rdamedia 183 $2rdacarrier 200 10$aGeschlechtsspezifische ko?rper- und Rollenbilder $eeine korpuslinguistische untersuchung /$fSina Lautenschla?ger 210 1$aBerlin, [Germany] ;$aBoston, [Massachusetts] :$cDe Gruyter,$d2018. 210 4$d©2018 215 $a1 online resource (402 pages) $cillustrations, tables 225 1 $aSprache und Wissen,$x1964-2284 ;$vBand 31 311 $a3-11-056017-8 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references. 327 $tFrontmatter -- $tDanksagung -- $tInhalt -- $tAbbildungs- und Tabellenverzeichnis -- $tEinleitung -- $t1.

Zusammenfassung -- $tLiteratur- und Quellenverzeichnis 330 $aAussagen darüber, was männlich oder weiblich ist, was für Männer und Frauen normal oder typisch ist (oder eben nicht ist), finden sich in den Massenmedien in großer Dichte, sowohl explizit als auch implizit. Diese Studie unterzieht bundesdeutsche Pressetexte erstmals einer großangelegten genderlinguistischen Analyse, um der Frage nachzugehen, wie geschlechtsspezifische Körper- und Rollenbilder in diesen Pressetexten mittels und in Sprache (re)produziert und propagiert werden. Zwei sich ergänzende Methoden werden dazu angewendet: die quantitativ verfahrende Korpuslinguistik und die qualitativ angelegte Framesemantik. Auf diese Weise werden typische Sprachgebrauchsmuster mit ihren charakteristischen (Be)Deutungen erkennbar. Da neben einer synchronen auch eine diachrone Analyse durchgeführt wird, lassen sich sowohl Konstanten als auch Veränderungen im Sprachgebrauch erforschen, was Rückschlüsse auf das (jeweils zeitspezifische) gesellschaftliche Wissen erlaubt. 330 $aPress articles convey, propagate, and (re)produce explicit and subliminal gender-specific images of body and role. This corpus linguistic analysis looks at patterns of such explicit and implicit statements about gender, both synchronically and diachronically. The social meanings and interpretations found in the texts are examined using a frame-semantic approach. 410 0$aSprache und Wissen ;$vBand 31. 606 $aGerman philology 610 $acorpus linguistics. 610 $adiscourse. 610 $aframe semantics. 610 $agender role. 615 0$aGerman philology. 676 $a430 686 $aMS 2850$2rvk 700 $aLautenschla?ger$b Sina$01720559 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910812672003321 996 $aGeschlechtsspezifische ko?rper- und Rollenbilder$94119323 997 $aUNINA
