Subject: Corpus Texts from East Germany


„Texts from East Germany” mainly consists of previously unpublished
texts covering aspects of everyday language use in East Germany. In
addition to contracts, evaluations, manuals, menus and personal ads,
it contains numerous private letters and some speeches and
conversations in the original audio and as transcripts.
The texts provide an insight into the use of language in day-to-day
life in the GDR. They help us to understand the historical development
and about regional, social, contextual and other differences. They
also explain why the producers and recipients of these and similar
texts still communicate differently than perhaps expected, even after
over 30 years of “German unity”.
As part of this collection of texts, a “selected bibliography of
language in the GDR” was also compiled.
