The volume presents the proceedings of an expert conference held in
Dresden on the history of the German language. The papers focus
particularly on the discussion of the "new" methods of "new"
language history. In addition, the volume contains historical case
studies from the period between 1800 and 1933. A third section
concentrates on the historical links between the German language
and ist Slavonic neighbours Polish, Russian and Czech.
27 German studies scholars and one philosopher have contributed
these essays in honour of Helmut Henne. The subject matter ranges
from reflection on the dialogic principle, the linguistic analysis
of literary texts, contributions on the history of language
critique, the critical discussion of lexicological and
lexicographic issues, the historical, systematic and
contrastive/intercultural study of important problems in semantics
and pragmatics all the way to selected issues in the theory of
German studies as a scholarly discipline. The unifying link between
most of the articles is the clear allegiance to (lexical) semantics
and to an awareness of tradition and the historical perspective. As
such, the volume is not merely a kaleidoscopic survey of
present-day German language studies; at the same time, it reflects
the present state of scholarly debate in an approach to semantics
enriched by pragmatics and geared to lexicographic, literary and
language-critical concerns. The festschrift contains a complete
list of Helmut Henne's publications.
