‚Orte der Zeit‘ im Korpus ISW. Eine linguistische Analyse des Zusammenspiels von Orten, Emotionen und Erinnerungen

The aim of this paper is to investigate the connection between specific categories of places (see Flinz/Ruppenhofer 2021) and emotions (see the connection between “places of transit and emotions” in Flinz/Leonardi forthcoming) in the corpus Emigrantendeutsch in Israel: Wiener in Jerusalem (ISW). Indeed, as has been demonstrated, places and spatial elements, being anchor points for memory (Casey 1993: 172), are deeply intertwined with the memories that emerge during narration as well as with the emotional dimension (cf. Leonardi 2016). Places thus enclose events and experiences that are recalled by interviewees during the mnestic process. Old emotions are re-evoked and new ones emerge, which can be thematised, described and/or even expressed. In particular, we will analyse the category ‘typical places of’, focusing on both the thematisation and the expression of emotions at the linguistic level (see Fiehler 2011).
