| Abstract (English): | The handbook Language Criticism provides a comprehensive overview of the current state of research in linguistic language criticism in the German-speaking area.

The section on discourse criticism includes theoretical contributions as well as analyses of specific discourses such as orthographic reforms, migration discourses, and discourses on aging.
