Description
This fully revised and updated edition provides a systematic approach to the study of the German language, exploring its social aspects, including dialects, history, and contemporary uses. No prior knowledge of linguistics is assumed, making it accessible to students new to the subject.
The book includes a brand new section on gender, purism, and German unification, as well as fresh examples for analysis and an updated chapter on Germany's geography today. Practical exercises accompany each chapter, helping students find new ways to explore the German language and think about German-speaking cultures.
