Deutsch im Wandel (Beiträge zur Methodenmesse der IDS-Jahrestagung 1)

Abstract

This edited volume presents the contributions to the Methods Fair of the 61st Annual Conference of the Leibniz Institute for the German Language 2025, which was themed “German in Change” and focused on linguistic change – particularly in contemporary German, but also across multiple historical stages of language development. The increasing digitization of historical resources and the development of new technologies for data collection, documentation, and analysis are opening up novel opportunities for research on linguistic change. A central aim of the Methods Fair was to showcase innovative methodological approaches that support or even enable the study of linguistic change. The volume features twelve contributions from diverse areas of linguistics, each of which, in addition to descriptions of methods, resources, or tools, includes concrete case studies. Thus, the volume not only provides an up-to-date overview of current methods in the study of linguistic change, but also offers inspiration and practical support for future research.
