| Summary: | The ability to protest legitimizes democratic societies. Their constitutive social and cultural pluralism is negotiated in protests and alternative political fields of action are opened up. Language does not merely express protest; rather, it is through the use of language and other signs that protest is generated in the first place. Thus, semiotic practices of protest communication move into the focus of linguistic protest research. The protesting gains relevance through its publicity and mediality. The way people protest has changed over time. What is up for debate is the change in the relationship between protest communication, the media and the public. The diversity of historical and medial protest practices challenges their research and diversifies the field of relevant data and methods for linguistic protest research. The volume therefore brings together works of linguistic protest research that deal with empirically founded questions of the pragmatic relevance of linguistic and visual constitutional forms of political protest, their medialities and modalities as well as their historicity.
