Dystrybucja wiedzy o przeszłości języka niemieckiego w dydaktyce akademickiej oraz wśród społeczności lokalnej
Distribution of knowledge on the history of the German language in academic didactics and within the local community

Summary/Abstract: Subjects focused on history and diachrony are often treated marginally in German studies curricula. Their complexity and deviation from the predominantly communicative and pragmatic-oriented study model contribute to this marginalization, leading to a gradual reduction of such courses. However, it is crucial not to overlook the fact that these subjects form the foundation for understanding the essence of language development and transformation, representing a fundamental element of philological knowledge. The author of this contribution aims to highlight the importance of language history and linguistic transformations in the didactics of German Studies. Simultaneously, the author recognizes a tendency toward excessively theoretical approaches in teaching such subjects and advocates for a more substantial reliance on authentic historical-linguistic corpora. The article also provides examples of the author’s contribution to bridging historical-linguistic research with academic and outreach practices, emphasizing the practical and popularization aspects of this endeavor.
