Peter Ernst – författare

Although there is still no general agreement on the exact functions of linguistic pragmatics and the fields of activity it covers, it can be understood as the relationship of language to its users and the resultant practical applications of language. This book offers a introduction to the subject.

The series publishes studies and sources on the history of the German language and literature from the beginnings of the tradition in the 8th century to more recent linguistic history. It publishes philologically high-quality linguistic and literary studies and editions, as well as works that deal with aspects of linguistics and literary studies in equal measure. Thematically, the whole range of diachronic and synchronic issues is welcome: Variations and varieties, language change, norm and usage, language criticism, language contact, empiricism and theory, production and reception, manuscripts and prints. Publication formats include monographs as well as edited volumes. The preferred language of publication is German. The LHG is edited by three members of the Gesellschaft für germanistische Sprachgeschichte (GGSG): - Stephan Müller, Professor of Older German Language and Literature at the University of Vienna - Claudia Wich-Reif, Professor of the History of the German Language and Linguistic Variation at the Rheinische Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität Bonn - Arne Ziegler, Professor of German Language with special emphasis on Historical Linguistics and Variety Linguistics at the Karl-Franzens University of Graz Co-founder and co-editor from 2016-2019 was Jörg Riecke, Professor of German Linguistics with a special focus on language history at Ruprecht-Karls-Universität Heidelberg (+2019)
