Abstract:

The Germanic language family ranges from national languages with standardized
varieties, including German, Dutch and Danish, to minority languages with
relatively few speakers, such as Frisian, Yiddish and Pennsylvania German.
Written by internationally renowned experts of Germanic linguistics, this
Handbook provides a detailed overview and analysis of the structure of modern
Germanic languages and dialects. Organized thematically, it addresses key
topics in the phonology, morphology, syntax, and semantics of standard and
nonstandard varieties of Germanic languages from a comparative perspective. It
also includes chapters on second language acquisition, heritage and minority
languages, pidgins, and urban vernaculars. The first comprehensive survey of
this vast topic, the Handbook is a vital resource for students and researchers
investigating the Germanic family of languages and dialects.

The benchmark survey of the structure and usage of modern Germanic languages 

Avoids overly technical theory, making the volume accessible to students as
well as researchers 

Covers a very wide range of examples including Scandinavian languages
