Diese Darstellung der Entwicklungs- und Wirkungsgeschichte der Soziolinguistik im deutschsprachigen Raum füllt mit ihrer Berücksichtigung der DDR-Soziolinguistik und der Leistungen bereits verstorbener Fachvertreter:innen eine wichtige Lücke in der Forschungsgeschichte auch im internationalen Kontext. Den Hauptteil bilden teils autobiographische Rückblicke prominenter Fachvertreter:innen in Form von Originalbeiträgen und Interviews sowie biographischen Darstellungen im Falle verstorbener Kolleg:

Word classes are dynamic, not static categories: Pathways of integration of new members into a class can equally be defining properties of word classes as prototypical features. My paper on cardinal numerals (and others) as a dynamic word class is out now.
