Norm und Variation - Paradigmenwechsel anhand frühneuzeitlicher Fremdsprachenlehrwerke

This volume shines a light on the supposed tension between linguistic norm and variation in the early modern period by looking at early modern foreign language textbooks. Besides presenting the textbooks as sources, it is first and foremost about analyzing the authors' ideas of norms and how they were implemented in language use. Studies of grammatical phenomena and language awareness open up new perspectives on linguistic norms and language use.
