Description:

The Europäisches Zentrum für Sprachwissenschaften (EZS) (http://www.ezs-
online.de), a joint cooperation between the Ruprecht-Karls-Universität Heidelberg 
(Germany) and the Institut für Deutsche Sprache in Mannheim (Germany) invites

'Sprachkritik als Gesellschaftskritik im europäischen Vergleich / Critique of 
language as Critique of Society - a European Perspective'. The fellowships are 
available for a period of three years. The earliest starting date is 1 November 2012. 

Critique of language means any form of critical comment on language usage. A 
critique of language is socially relevant and shapes the cultures of European 
nations. Critique of language is a form of evaluation of language through language. 
As such, a critique of language also serves as a mirror of the linguistic and cultural 
self-conception of a society and language community. The thematic focus of the 
Promotionskolleg is to compare historical and contemporary language politics, 
language policies, language institutions that include the German, English, Italian 
and French language areas and communities of practice. The Promotionskolleg is 
part of the research project Europäische Sprachkritik Online (ESO) / European 
Critique of Language Online.
