Abstract:
The contributions to this volume explore eleven key developments in the
external history of the German language, that is, the combination of
social, political and cultural circumstances which influenced the language
and its speakers. Some of these 'landmarks' are individuals or groups of
people who have exerted influence over the language: Charlemagne, Luther,
the early modern grammarians and lexicographers. Others are studies of
particular periods, places or groups which have not found their place in
more narrative accounts: standardisation in the nineteenth century, the
role of Low German, the state of German at the Stunde Null in 1945. An
overarching theme is the role of deliberate intervention in the development
of German, whether it took the form of education, prescriptivism, purism or
political manipulation. The essays, a number of which were originally
delivered as lectures in the University of Cambridge and all of which are
by specialists in the field, combine to provide a history of the German
language in its social context.
