Sprachliche Konfigurationen im wissenschaftlichens Diskurs : theoretische Prämissen und methodologische Herausforderungen der n-Gram-Analyse für die Erforschung der wissenschaftssprachlichen Typik

In scientific text types the specific language configurations represent a register of language typicality which is regularly used in similar contexts of scientific discourse. It is obvious, that the appropriate knowledge about these structures is a condition for competent scientific outputs. The configured structures as specific patterns are manifested in different forms and functions both on the lexical and the textual level. The paper explains the theoretical premises for researching these structures and discusses the methodological potential of the frequencyoriented n-gram analysis as a challenging base for the qualitative analysis of linguistic data.
