This innovative linguistic and cultural-historical study examines interpersonal social relationships during the Early New High German era. The work focuses on activities of linguistic exclusion along with the underlying pragma-grammatical and pragmasemantic strategies associated with them, as well as their impact on ten important marginal groups. The study is geared to readers from all fields with an interest in history.

The Early New High German Dictionary is an alphabetically-ordered dictionary of the varieties of High German from the 14th to 17th century.

The Early New High German Dictionary is an alphabetically-ordered sense dictionary of the varieties of High German from the 14th to 17th century. Its entries are arranged as follows: Each headword is followed by concise information on the inflectional morphology and (in the case of etymologically isolated words or words that are difficult to classify) brief references to the etymology. This is followed by the core of each entry, namely, the explanation of the various senses of a word, which have been numbered. References to time, region and text type provide important information about the dimensions in which each sense of a word was used. The cumulative naming of semantically-related words and typical syntagmatic contexts provide insight into the structural, lexical correlations. A detailed block of examples per sense demonstrates the word in its original usage.

Diese Arbeit unternimmt den sprachwissenschaftlichen Versuch, der Akzeptanzbereitschaft gegenuber Rassismus und Faschismus innerhalb des deutschen Burgertums auf die Spur zu kommen. Auf der Grundlage der ideologiewirksamen Schriften eines Bildungsburgers, namlich Houston Stewart Chamberlains, soll mithilfe linguistischer Analysen gezeigt werden, wie schmal der Grat zwischen bildungsburgerlicher Hochkultur und menschenverachtender Unkultur werden kann. Im Zentrum steht die Konstruktion eines Menschenbildes durch zentrale Lexeme wie "Arier", "Kunstler", "Persoenlichkeit", "Jude" und "Rasse", aber auch durch ideologiesprachliche Ausdrucke wie "Leben", "Wille", "Sozialismus" oder "Entartung". Menschenbilder fuhren zu Handlungsmaximen. Diese werden in satzsemantisch-pragmatischen Analysen der Prasuppositionen, der Handlungsrollen und der Kollektivierungen analysiert. Der letzte Teil ist diskurslinguistischer Natur und gilt Chamberlains Traditionsbildung. Es geht zum einen um alle jene Schriften, die er in seinem Sinne genutzt hat (z.B. Goethe, Kant, Darwin, Gobineau, Wagner), danach um diejenigen, fur die er selbst wegweisend wurde (z.B. die Nationalsozialisten). Diese Arbeit versteht sich als interdisziplinarer Beitrag zur Ideologiegeschichte und zur Geschichte sozio-kommunikativer Beziehungen.

The grammatography of historical stages of German and related languages was for a long time a central preserve of the series "Collection of Short Grammars of German Dialects." Progress in historical language description and the grammatical description of modern languages has led to a wave of revisions to existing historical grammars and also to a variety of new conceptions for them. The Heidelberg Conference from 28 January to 3 February 2001 discussed the effects of new linguistic insights on the practice of grammatical description. Major attention was given to such topics as the corpus problem, coverage of varieties, normalization, and the specific requirements of literary studies in connection with historical grammars.

Die Reihe Studia Linguistica Germanica (SLG), 1968 von Ludwig Erich Schmitt und Stefan Sonderegger begrundet, ist ein renommiertes Publikationsorgan der germanistischen Linguistik. Die Reihe verfolgt das Ziel, mit dem Schwerpunkt auf sprach- und wissenschaftshistorischen Fragestellungen die gesamte Bandbreite des Faches zu reprasentieren. Dazu zahlen u. a. Arbeiten zur historischen Grammatik und Semantik des Deutschen, zum Verhaltnis von Sprache und Kultur, zur Geschichte der Sprachtheorie, zur Dialektologie, Lexikologie/Lexikographie, Textlinguistik und zur Einbettung des Deutschen in den europaischen Sprachkontext.
