A History of German in 101 Words : 10
Charles V.J. Russ
This book traces the development of the vocabulary of the German language, exemplified by 101 words, ending with Gabenzaun, from the days of Covid. The words featured in the volume are typical examples of morphological and semantic change: borrowing from other languages (Kaiser), including pseudo-loans (Blamage) loan translation (‘floodlight’ to Flutlicht), creation of new words through compounding (Schwiegermutter), derivation with affixes (kleingläubig), and clipping and blending (Denglisch). The book is unique in concept and scope and offers English-speaking readers an engaging way of tracing the history of the German vocabulary.
