This collection of specially commissioned essays focuses on the
forms, functions, and uses of contemporary German in the period of
dynamic change following reunification. Some contributors address
broad issueslanguage and national identity, the status of German as
an international language, language change and attempts to fix the
form of the language, and sociolinguistic variationwhile others
examine topics of particular significance in the current
sociopolitical climate. These include social change and linguistic
variation in Berlin after the Wall, the political language of the
Right and Left, the speech of youth subcultures, language and
gender, language and television, and language in intercultural
communication. Reviews of the hardback edition `This volume 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, 33: 3, November
1995 `The appearance of this collection is timely. . .it updates us
on important, immediate issues affecting German language and
society' `. . .while this work will be appreciated most by those
focusing on sociolinguistics in the German-speaking context, those
searching for comparative sociolinguistic material will find it a
valuable source as well.' `All in all, Stevenson has organized an
interesting and useful volume for Germanophile sociolinguists and
for those interested in a multidimensional real German.' Language
