Anglo-German Linguistic Relations (EDITED VOLUME)

Please feel free to contact me if you should experience problems getting hold of one or more of my publications. This is a collection of papers presented at the conference «Anglo-German Linguistic Relations», held at Queen Mary, University of London in November 2007. The papers cover a wide variety of topics about the relationship between the English and German languages or relate to cultural and literary contacts between English-speaking and German-speaking regions. Individual papers discuss Anglo-German linguistic interplay and affinities both as contemporary phenomena and from a historical perspective. Themes include codification, translation and discourse production from the 17th century to the Second World War; shared metaphors in English and German; political propaganda in English and German; and authorial positioning and perspective in a selection of autobiographical and literary works. Contributors: Ulrich Busse, Andreas Musolff, Markus Oliver Spitz, Fredericka van der Lubbe, Astrid Ensslin, Wim Vandenbussche, Geraldine Horan, Felicity Rash, Hanne Boenisch, Tamar Steinitz, Falco Pfalzgraf
