The Position of the German Language in the World focuses on the
global position of German and the factors which work towards
sustaining its use and utility for international communication.
From the perspective of the global language constellation, the
detailed data analysis of this substantial research project depicts
German as an example of a second-rank language. The book also
provides a model for analysis and description of international
languages other than English. It offers a framework for
strengthening the position of languages such as Arabic, Chinese,
French, Portuguese, Spanish and others and for countering
exaggerated claims about the global monopoly position of English.
This comprehensive handbook of the state of the German language in
the world was originally published in 2015 by Walter de Gruyter in
German and has been critically acclaimed. Suitable for scholars and
researchers of the German language, the handbook shows in detail
how intricately and thoroughly German and other second-rank
languages are tied up with a great number of societies and how
these statistics support or weaken the languages' functions and
maintenance.
