Was heißt eigentlich #Muttersprache? Ein Begriff, der viel verwendet, aber selten eindeutig ist. Andrea Abel beleuchtet seine widersprüchlichen Bedeutungen – zwischen #Identität, Kompetenz und #Ideologie. Lesen Sie ihr Editorial hier:

Der Begriff „Muttersprache” ist allgegenwärtig doch er wird selten eindeutig definiert. In diesem Text geht Prof. in Andrea Abel seinen vielschichtigen Bedeutungen auf den Grund.
