Abstract

This chapter is based on, and is partly a restated version of, an article entitled “SCHIBBOLETHS. Philologische Bestandsaufnahme und Gesichtspunkte zu ihrer soziolinguistischen Analyse”, which appeared in the journal Deutsche Sprache 1991: 160–77 and in which a general linguistic and a sociolinguistic perspective on the analysis of shibboleths as everyday verbal behavior is discussed.
