The Great Language Restructuring

The German language has become a political battleground to an unprecedented extent. It's no longer just about individual words; activists want to restructure the entire German language in order to change society. The spelling reform was just the first battle that opened this linguistic struggle. The attackers present themselves in the name of progress – including a left wing whose discomfort with the German language borders on hatred. Matthias Heine describes the areas where these world-changers want to reconstruct the language – not only with regard to gender-neutral language. The journalist and linguist names the actors, their methods, and their motives. And he explains how all of this is connected to the left wing reinventing itself as the "International of the Discriminated."
