If we want to understand how German speakers think about themselves
and the world in which they live, then a useful place to begin is
by looking at the language they use. This fully revised and updated
edition provides a systematic approach to the study of the German
language and an introduction to the social aspects of the language,
including its dialects, its history and the uses of the language
today. No previous knowledge of linguistics is assumed, and each
chapter is accompanied by a series of practical exercises. This
edition includes a brand new section on gender, purism and German
unification, fresh examples for analysis and an updated chapter on
the geography of Germany today. The book will help students not
only to find new ways of exploring the German language, but also of
thinking and talking about German-speaking cultures.
