Diese Festschrift zum 60. Geburtstag von Prof. Bernd Spillner enthDiese Festschrift zum 60. Geburtstag von Prof. Bernd Spillner enthält Beiträge zu Fragen der Fachsprachen- und Stilforschung, des Sprachvergleichs, der Kontaktlinguistik, der Textforschung und des Fremdsprachenerwerbs. Es werden Erkenntnisse der Angewandten Linguistik geboten, die den Rahmen der traditionellen Auffassung von Linguistik weit überschreiten. Sprache ist immer an Kultur gebunden. Die Vielfältigkeit der Beiträge spiegelt dementsprechend den Trend der Entwicklung der Linguistik zur Kulturwissenschaft wider und bietet Anregungen nicht nur für Linguisten, sondern für alle, die mit Sprache zu tun haben, vom Fremdsprachendidaktiker über den Literaturwissenschaftler und Übersetzungswissenschaftler bis hin zum Kommunikations- und Kulturwissenschaftler.
