About this book
The volume is dedicated to German as a minority language around the world. Thirteen empirically grounded chapters consider extraterritorial varieties contrastively and in individual case studies, reaching from Europe (Belgium, Germany, France, Italy, Poland, Rumania) to North America (Canada, USA), from South America (Chile) to Africa (Namibia) and Australia/Oceania. The analyses incorporate both systemic linguistic and sociolinguistic factors.
