Deutsche Fremdwortlexikografie zwischen 1800 und 2007 - Zur metasprachlichen und lexikografischen Behandlung äußeren Lehnguts in Sprachkontaktwörterbüchern des Deutschen

'Germany is the land of foreign word dictionaries,' Peter von Polenz wrote in 1967, commenting on the German tendency to use borrowed expressions. This investigation considers the foreign word dictionary in its entirety from 1800-2007. It addresses not only the structural and lexicographic diversity of this dictionary type, but also discusses relevant historical factors.
