The Language Question in Contemporary Germany
This article addresses the complex relationships between political discourses, demographic constellations, the affordances of new technologies, and linguistic practices in contemporary Germany. It focuses on political and personal responses to the increasingly multilingual nature of German society and the often-conflicting ways in which "the German language" figures in strategies promoting social integration and Germany's global position. In orde…
Language, Migration, and Spaces of Representation
The study of relationships between language and place has a long tradition in the context of Germanic languages, from 19th century dialect geography to late 20th century contact linguistics. However, thecontemporary processes of migration, coupled with the emergence of new communication technologies and structural changes in the economies of states and regions, have created challenges for the study of linguistic practices and their place in the l…
Generating Traces in the History of the World
Generating Traces in the History of the World is a synthesis of Monsignor Luigi Giussani's reflection on the Christian experience. His exploration of Christianity as an unforeseen and unforeseeable event in which the mystery became a man reveals how, by acknowledging this fact, an individual is simultaneously able to use reason and be moved by affection. Discussing the ways in which Christ continues to be present in history through the companions…
The German Language and the Future of Europe
Most accounts of nationalism and national identity include the idea of a ‘national language’ as a foundational element and key organising principle, yet even before the advent of new technologies of communication these defining codes were rarely, if ever, contained within national boundaries. The coexistence of what are perceived as distinct linguistic varieties (‘languages’) is therefore the normal condition of the nation‐state. This contradicti…
‘National’ Languages in Transnational Contexts
In the literature on language policy and language planning in modern nation-states, language is seen to be central both to the practical, instrumental processes of nation building (for example, in relation to citizenship) and to the symbolic, integrative processes of developing a national ‘culture’ (for example, in relation to national identity) (Wright 2004: 42). Standard languages, in particular, are seen as both a vehicle for articulating and …
Language, the National and the Transnational in Contemporary Europe
This book takes its cue from the coincidence of two key moments in recent European history: 2004 saw both the 15th anniversary of the events of 1989 that launched the post-Cold War era and the accession to the European Union of ten new member states, which gave the process of social transformation within and across national boundaries throughout Europe a new impetus. At the same time, the accelerated process of unification has renewed and heighte…

Language and German Disunity
This book investigates the history of national disunity in Germany since the end of the Second World War from a linguistic perspective: what was the role of language in the ideological conflicts of the Cold War and in the difficult process of rebuilding the German nation after 1990? In the first part of the book, Patrick Stevenson explores the ways in which the idea of 'the national language' contributed to the political tensions between the two …
The German-Speaking World
The German-Speaking World is an accessible textbook that offers students the opportunity to explore for themselves a wide range of sociolinguistic issues relating to the German language and its role in the world. This new, second edition has been fully revised to reflect the many political and social changes of the last 20 years including the impact of technology on language change. It continues to combine text with practical exercises and discus…

The German Language and the Real World
Title Pages
The Study of Real Language
The traffic in borrowed words and phrases between English and German is by no means one-way, even if the balance of trade heavily favours English exports into German. Perhaps because of their relative rarity, German words used in English often appear more conspicuous and more exotic: consider, for example, Schadenfreude or Berufsverbot. One of the most recent additions to this inventory is the concept of the Wende (meaning ‘radical change of dire…

The German Language and the Real World
Language has always played an important part in the debate about cultural and political identity in the German-speaking areas of Europe. It is therefore not surprising that the dramatic events of the early 1990s, most notably the reunification of Germany, have led to an upsurge of interest in the German language. This collection of essays provides an insight into the interests and approaches of German-speaking linguists in this period of dynamic …

Political culture and intergroup relations in plurilingual Switzerland
Switzerland is widely ignored in the literature on multilingualism unless it is merely cited as an exemplary model of successful cohabitation and conflict management. This article argues that this image gives a misleadingly static impression of harmonious inter‐cultural relations and that as a result little attention has been paid to the nature and extent of multilingual and multicultural development within the federation. These issues are discus…
