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.

Wie ist es um die deutsche Sprache in den Schulen bestellt? Bisherige wissenschaftlich fundierte Antworten, etwa von Großstudien wie PISA oder DESI, zielen auf repräsentative, eng umschriebene Zustandsbeschreibungen. Sie erfassen nur wenig von der Dynamik der Veränderung und der Arbeit an Sprache, die ja gerade das Aufgabenfeld der Schule ist. Der hier vorgelegte Bericht der Deutschen Akademie für Sprache und Dichtung und der Union der deutschen Akademien der Wissenschaften sieht die Schule als gesellschaftliches Sprachlabor. Er entwirft das in vieler Hinsicht überraschende Bild einer „Sprache im Werden“. Dabei liegt der Schwerpunkt auf den durch die Schriftlichkeit geprägten, sprachproduktiven Leistungen der Schülerinnen und Schüler. Insgesamt zehn Teilkapitel behandeln ein breites Spektrum von Fragen: Wie verhalten sich familiäre Kommunikationsmuster zu den schulischen? Hat die Lehrersprache einen Einfluss auf die Schülersprache? Wie stellen Schülerinnen und Schüler Zusammenhänge in ihren Texten her? Was bestimmt den Ausbau des Wortschatzes und der Grammatik? Wie sieht die historische und individuelle Entwicklung der Rechtschreibung inklusive der Zeichensetzung und der Handschrift aus? Wie verändert der digitale Wandel das Sprachlernen und wie steht die Spracherfahrung in vielfältigen Familiensprachen zum Ziel des Erwerbs der Bildungssprache? Der Bericht wendet sich an die bildungsinteressierte Leserschaft, an Eltern, Lehrerinnen und Lehrer und nicht zuletzt an die Bildungspolitik.
