The Mouton Interactive Introduction to Historical Linguistics of German offers an extensive overview of the language-historical development of the German language from its origins to the German spoken today and describes how the phonology, morphology, syntax and vocabulary of German have changed.

Newly developed visualizations and numerous audio samples make this introduction an indispensable tool for teachers and students of the German language:

Depth of understanding is facilitated through dynamic visualizations, well-structured schemata and selected maps;
Old, Middle and Early New High German source texts become living contemporary documents through recordings spoken by practiced speakers;
Diverse functions make it possible for the user to tailor the application of the program to meet his or her individual needs;
Extensive text and graphic material provided for all three language periods;
Detailed treatment of the area of syntax and discussion of current theories on language change.

The Introduction is aimed at students of linguistics and the German language. It is an effective autodidactic tool and a useful aid in preparation for exams in the field of historical linguistics.

The CD-ROM is also suitable for linguists who would like to learn more about language change processes in German. Teachers and instructors can use the program to make their lectures more diversified and illustrative. The application is in German and English.
