Über Wissenschaft reden

Studien zu Sprachgebrauch, Darstellung und Adressierung in der deutschen Wissenschaftsprosa um 1800 (Lingua Academica 4)

Berlin, Boston: de Gruyter.

The volume examines the relationship between scientific self-understanding and scientific language usage in the German-speaking world around 1800. It discusses the re-founding of the university, the fraught relationship with rhetorical tradition, the presentational impact of scientific speech, and the political implications for audiences of this discourse.
