Zur Neuregelung der deutschen Orthographie - Begrundung und Kritik (German, Hardcover, Reprint 2013)

yOn July 1, 1996, representatives from Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Liechtenstein and a number of countries where German is a minority language met in Vienna to finalize the new reform of German spelling. This reform is due to come into force on August 1, 1998. The present publication situates the new system in a historical dimension and sets out the rationale behind the changes foreseen. Central criteria here are the linguistic theories and orthographic principles underlying the modifications planned in various areas of spelling, and the aims pursued by them. These new official guidelines are also discussed critically by a number of opponents of the reform. Here different theoretical approaches to the problem of correct writing and other views on what the evolution of German spelling could look like are set against the new official guidelines. Taken together, these conflicting views provide a reliable basis for an assessment and a comparison of the various concepts that have been put forward.
