Mr. Pertsch, how much do you love the German language?
I really love languages in general because they are a reflection of a society – and the German language is remarkably big, great and diverse.
You are the editor of the new book “Duden: Diversity”. 100 authors present 100 terms that require discussion – and the book seems to primarily want to show how language can hurt others.
Not exclusively, but that comes up in the book, yes: How do we deal with language, are there problematic words that are discriminatory? This is highlighted alongside many other issues relating to diversity and diversity.
