Differences in the linguistic behaviour of West and East Germans
have so far been traced largely in the area of lexis. This study
sets out to establish whether there are also linguistic differences
of a communicative nature identifiable for their interactive
relevance in encounters between Germans from East and West. The
field of study explored here is the communicative genre of job
interviews. On the empirical basis of 41 authentic interviews and
also of role games, East/West differences and their consequences
for the course taken by job interviews are examined with reference
to three main areas: processing genre knowledge, responses to
typical questions, strategies in dealing with differences in
conversational style.
