The linguae & litterae series, edited by Peter Auer, Gesa von Essen and Werner Frick, documents the research activities of the School of Language and Literature of the Freiburg Institute for Advanced Studies (FRIAS). These research activities in literary studies and linguistics are characterized by an approach that is theoretically and methodologically “state of the art” and interdisciplinarily open. In linguistics the accent is on the corpus-based, quantitative and qualitative investigation of language; in literary studies the focus is on the comparative, transdisciplinary analysis of literary phenomena in their cultural contexts. At the same time the series deals with the productive interfaces and synergies between modern linguistics and literary studies (as well as the humanities, social and natural sciences with which they interact). It seeks a new, contemporary reformulation of the humanities research curriculum and its problem and concept orientation for the future. The series has a clear international orientation - each volume is multilingual, containing German, English and French contributions and, depending on the volume, articles in Italian or Spanish as well. Each individual volume is peer reviewed by an international editorial board. Each year 2-4 volumes are published.

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.
