Bieswanger, Markus: German Influence on Australian English

The study is concerned with the influence of the minority language German on the majority language Australian English. This volume, on the one hand, examines the connection between the history of German-speaking immigration to Australia and different types of transference and, on the other hand, synchronically and empirically investigates at the individual levels of language - namely lexis, pronunciation, grammar and toponyms - the results of more than two centuries of German-English language contact that are still visible in Australian English today.
