The German Linguistic Studies Series is a comprehensive and outstanding forum in its field. It has borne the name of its subject in its title since the foundation of the series in the eighth decade of the last century.
The series is comprehensive in the broad spectrum of topics covered (language levels, varieties, communication forms, epochs) in the range of research perspectives (theoretical and empirical studies, fundamental research and applications, interdisciplinarity with psychology, the social sciences etc.) and methodologies (the sole criterion is quality), in the rhythm of research (trends are perceived and also set, achievements are secured) and in the forms of presentation (monographs, textbooks, collected volumes, dictionaries).
Professorial theses, outstanding doctoral theses, pioneering research findings from wider contexts, but also the surprising stroke of genius' set the standards for inclusion in the series.

Klappentext

Ernst Jandl (1925-2000) ist ein spektakulärer Fall. Für einen Lyriker der experimentellen Avantgarde hat er eine ganz und gar ungewöhnliche Popularität erreicht. Gedichte wie ottos mops sind längst Gemeingut. Anders als oft behauptet, ist das Lachen über Jandls Gedichte kein zufälliger Effekt der ungewohnten Sprachverwendung. Es sind vielfältige Spielarten des Komischen, die in Jandls Sprache neu umgesetztwerden. Trotzdem wurden die komischen Seiten von Jandls Werk bisher kaum erforscht. Die Studie geht seiner beispiellosen Wirksamkeit mit sorgfältigen Analysen auf den Grund.
