German Language and (Dis)Unity: German Twenty Years after the Fall of the
Berlin Wall

Do east and west Germans speak the same language?  Should they? Or is
everybody slowly crossing over to English anyway? And what happened to the
GemÃ¼tlichkeit of the German language?

Join us, Tuesday, October 20, 2009 at 7:00 p.m. in the James J. Brown
Auditorium at the Waterloo Public Library (located at 35 Albert St.
Waterloo) on an excursion into the realm of the language and its speakers.
Mat Schulze, the Director of the Waterloo Centre for German Studies at the
University of Waterloo, will explore language change in Germany and ponder
its consequences. If you spotted the German word in the first paragraph, you
will have no problems following the lecture.
