Sprache und Lebensform deutscher Studenten im 18. und 19. Jahrhundert

The studies develop a new historical image of language use by German students, juxtaposing an analysis of authentic texts with specific patterns of student life. A focus is placed on the characteristics of text types such as song and memorabilia, in conjunction with patterns of interaction, such as insult and satisfaction. The analysis is grounded in text theory and action theory, with the aim of contributing to a pragmatic history of language.
