Sociolinguistic Resilience Among Young Academics. A Quantitative Analysis in Germany and France
International audience; Already Friedrich Schiller was convinced that language mirrors a nation. If this is the case, then the often deplored ‘brutalization of language’, which has almost become a buzzword in the wake of the refugee crisis in Germany that started in 2015, points to a serious social crisis by raising questions of (national) identity and self-understanding.

Furthermore, the analysis confirms that the self-conception c…
