The series Studia Linguistica Germanica, founded in 1968 by Ludwig Erich Schmitt and Stefan Sonderegger, is one of the standard publication organs for German Linguistics. The series aims to cover the whole spectrum of the subject, while concentrating on questions relating to language history and the history of linguistic ideas. It includes works on the historical grammar and semantics of German, on the relationship of language and culture, on the history of language theory, on dialectology, on lexicology / lexicography, text linguistics and on the location of German in the European linguistic context.
The book presents Grimmelshausen's place in the 17 th -century linguistic discourse of patriotism. In analyzing this discourse, it describes a number of connective elements in discourse that help to interpret the satirical pamphlet "Teutscher Michel." The author goes on to examine Grimmelshausen's satirical engagement with the language of patriotic discourse and with the linguistic practices of his times.
