Variation in German
This book examines the interrelations between language and society in the German-speaking countries. The questions 'what is German and who speaks it?' and 'how does the language vary dependent on social, political and geographical factors?' are addressed and placed in their historical context. This is a comprehensive account of major topics in the contemporary study of German sociolinguistics, and topics covered include the history and development of the German language, German as a minority language, minority languages in German-speaking countries, traditional dialects, variation in contemporary colloquial speech, the influence of English on German, and German in East and West. It draws together much otherwise inaccessible material from a great range of sources. The authors also assess critically research work carried out in German-speaking countries.

Language and Nationalism in Europe
This volume examines the role of language in the present and past creation of social, cultural, and national identities in Europe, considering the way in which language may sometimes reinforce national identity (as in England) while tending to subvert the nation-state (as in the United Kingdom). The book describes the interactive roles of language, ethnicity, culture, and institutions in the character and formation of nationalism and identity throughout Europe. A select team of international contributors consider various questions drawing on evidence from the majority of European countries. The book concludes with a consideration of the current relative status of the languages of Europe and how these and the identities they reflect are changing and evolving.

Variation im Deutschen
Die Autoren stellen die soziolinguistische Problematik der Gegenwartssprache in ihrer vollen Komplexität anschaulich dar. Darüber hinaus nehmen sie die Forschungsansätze kritisch unter die Lupe. Themenschwerpunkte sind die historischen Grundlagen der Entwicklung einer deutschen Standardsprache, die regionale und soziale Verteilung der verschiedenen Sprachformen im gegenwärtigen Deutsch, die Herausbildung eines sprachlichen Kontinuums zwischen Dialekt und Standardsprache, Mehrsprachigkeit in Deutschland und der Schweiz und Sprachkontakt. Barbour und Stevenson fassen die wichtigsten Forschungsergebnisse zusammen und ergänzen sie durch kritische Einsichten aus der Perspektive der englischsprachigen Soziolinguistik.
