The German Language and the Real World: Sociolinguistic, Cultural, and Pragmatic Perspectives on Contemporary German - Softcover
Synopsis
Language has always been a major marker of cultural identity in the German-speaking world, and the reunification of Germany, with its dramatic political and cultural consequences, has led to an upsurge of interest in contemporary German. In this collection of essays, German linguists consider a wide range of topics, including language change, language in political discourse, language in Berlin after the wall, language and gender, the speech styles of youth subcultures, and language and television.

Review
"What makes this collection so exciting is its demonstration of the linguistic dichotomy created by a unified Germany and the sociolinguistic ferment it generates....Fills a void in up-to-date English-language information on German linguistics. Highly recommended for all college and university collections, as well as public libraries."--Choice
