Verbrannte Wörter
"Asozial", "Bombenwetter", "entartet" oder "Volk" - nicht wenige deutsche Begriffe sind im öffentlichen Sprachgebrauch verpönt, weil sie mit der ideologisch und propagandistisch aufgeladenen Rhetorik der Nationalsozialisten in Verbindung gebracht werden. Trotzdem tauchen sie gelegentlich in unserer Alltagssprache auf. Spätestens aber seit in der aufgeheizten politischen Debatte verstärkt sprachliche Grenzen ausgereizt und Tabus gebrochen werden, stellt sich wieder die Frage, welche Wörter man benutzen darf, ohne an die NS-Ideologie anzuknüpfen.Der Journalist, Historiker und Linguist Matthias Heine setzt sich deshalb mit der Sprache der Nazis auseinander und geht dazu konkret auf etwa 80 Begriffe näher ein. Manche, etwa "Eintopf", dürften dabei überraschen. Umgekehrt zeigt sich, dass nicht alles in die Nazi-Schublade gehört, was wir dort hineingepackt hätten. Informativ und anschaulich bietet Heines Buch wertvolle Orientierung auf einem heiklen Terrain.- Shop: buecher

Emma Hamilton, 1765-1815: The Famous Women Series (Dramatised), Hörbuch, Digital, 60min
Emma Hamilton came to be recognized as the most beautiful woman of her age and has become immortal in history for her romantic involvement with Nelson, England's greatest hero. As well as beauty, she had great gifts: she was a singer of professional ability, a natural linguist and actress, and a shrewd behind-the-scenes politician. She captivated almost everyone with her warm-hearted, extroverted charm. Yet she aroused bitter jealousy and has been persistently branded with the stigma of loose morals - largely due to misunderstandings about some circumstances of her early life. Language: English.
