The status of the German language has perhaps never aroused more
heated debate: scholars argue that the language is in visible
decline, that its lexicon and grammar are increasingly
impoverished, not least through massive infiltration by Anglicisms.
The newly published language report presents the findings of
research studies in four areas that have characterized the debate
in different ways: vocabulary, Anglicisms, flexion, and nominal
style.
Which loan words exist in current German, what is their origin and
what role do they play within the German vocabulary as a whole? For
the first time, this book describes in a systematic and
easy-to-read manner how an important and multifaceted part of
German vocabulary has been developing for centuries and still is
evolving today. Knowledge of facts is the best advisor even in
public controversies on loan words, and this is why the book is
aimed at a wider audience. Where special knowledge is required, the
reader will find complete and easy-to-understand explanations.
