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.

Wissenschaftliches Arbeiten spielt sich heute zunehmend im internationalen Kontext ab, wie unter anderem die große Bedeutung des Englischen belegt. Die Muster wissenschaftlichen Schreibens und Sprechens verändern sich unter diesem Einfluss. Anhand verschiedener Textsorten wie Zeitschriftenartikel, Vortrag, Abstract oder Diskussionsbeitrag werden die Eigenarten der Wissenschaftskommunikation sowie ihre historischen Veränderungen herausgearbeitet. Die Untersuchung wechselseitiger Einflüsse zwischen dem deutschen, angloamerikanischen, französischen und dem russischen Wissenschaftsstil schließt den Band ab.
