German term or phrase: Sprachereignis
Da die der Untersuchung zugrunde liegenden Texte Transkriptionen konkreter *Sprechereignisse* darstellen, ergibt sich zwangsläufig eine Differenz zwischen der objektiven Sinnstruktur der Texte, in der die Wahrheits- und Geltungsbedingungen der am *Sprechereignis* beteiligten Personen repräsentiert sind und der Sinnstruktur, die dem Interpreten perspektivisch und intentional erscheint (vgl. Soeffner, 1982).

speech event or utterance


Explanation:

Rather than speech/language event.

Example sentence(s):
  • Thus, in the hermeneutics of Fuchs and Ebeling, the catch-word is not so much existential understanding as linguistic event.
