Herbert Wolf: Luthers spielerischer Umgang mit Spracheigenheiten anderer
Up to now, linguistic research has paid little attention to Luther’s games with the linguistic idiosyncracies of other speakers.

Particular attention is given to the unerringly accurate deployment of characteristic dialect markers and individual modes of word-formation in Luther’s polemical writings.
