Table of ContentsReviewsDr. Forester offers a novel approach to one of the classical questions of Germanic linguistics, that of historical German umlaut. While vigorous past research speaks to a phonological and morphological resolution for the actuation of German umlaut, Dr. Forester seeks in addition decidedly pragmatic strategies at the discourse level for the motivation of umlaut data as found in texts preceding the modern period, that is, Early New High German. These texts are particularly revealing since they predate orthographic standardization. Dr. Forester's meticulous research contributes exciting and innovative insights into the venerable umlaut problem as well as a paradigm for the study of historical pragmatics.
