Vocabulary and the word represent one of the central areas of study in linguistics in general and German studies in particular. The festschrift in honour of Oskar Reichmann, who has devoted most of his scholarly energies to the theoretical and empirical study of German vocabulary, assembles close on 20 articles devoted to German lexicology from a systematic, present-day, and historical vantage.
