{"product_id":"9781108738422","title":"English in the German-Speaking World","description":"English has a considerable history in Germany, Austria and Switzerland, and present-day English has a significant influence on the vocabulary of modern German. Examining the ongoing influence of English on German in these countries, Raymond Hickey leads a team of authors to explore a wide range of topics, such as the history of English teaching in Germany, the type of English spoken in German-speaking countries today, and the role of English in German society. Borrowings from English in present-day German, as well as the use of English in public places, is also discussed, as is the use of English by non-Germans living in Germany, and the situation of Germany as a country with English as a foreign language. Comparisons with other European countries are also analysed, and a consideration of the German-English interface in places as far apart as the United States and Namibia, is also presented.","brand":"Cambridge University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46381411467505,"sku":"9781108738422","price":38.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0674\/5433\/7265\/files\/9781108738422_p0.jpg?v=1765133825","url":"https:\/\/shop.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781108738422","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
