aims
The Wiener Sprachblätter deal with the topic of language criticism , language maintenance and linguistics . You want to sharpen language awareness. For example, they criticize the use of certain foreign words and replace Anglicisms with German words. For example, the Wiener Sprachblätter use the word “world network” instead of the widespread term “ Internet ”.
In addition, the Wiener Sprachblätter want to clarify deficiencies in the spelling reform of 1996 , which the intergovernmental council for German spelling was set up in 2004 to remedy . They also use the dialect and the Fraktur script , the suppression of which was initiated in 1941 with the “Hitler-Bormann Decree”. Therefore, the language leaves use the spelling in the version prior to the 1996 reform and appear partly in broken Scripture , partly in Antiqua -Schreibung.
