Abstract
Abstract In June 2017, a new letter was officially introduced into the German language: the capital eszett . Following a suggestion of the Rat für deutsche Rechtschreibung (Council for German Orthography), the letter was included in the revised version of the official spelling rules, and also the new 2017 edition of the Duden mentions the capital eszett. The present article investigates the reasons underlying this orthographic change.
期刊介绍:
The subject area of the ZEITSCHRIFT FÜR GERMANISTISCHE LINGUISTIK (ZGL) is the German language of the present as well as the history of the German language in all its differentiations. The main focus of the journal is on the standard language of today. The ZGL publishes articles, discussions, and reports on the most important developments in the field, as well as review articles of selected books. The annual list of newly published books ("Neue Bücher") and the journal exhibit ("Zeitschriftenschau") of approx. 80 international journals support the integration of the field of German linguistics.
