Description: This book reflects the multifaceted interests of Werner Enninger's personality as well as his professional career. Most of the studies are linguistic in their focus, and deal directly with "languages." It has, however, always been Enninger's concern that languages not be divorced from the speaker's lives, and thus other studies included here focus specifically on the "lives" of the speakers of these languages, thus the "Languages and Lives" of the title.

There are also studies here dealing with philosophy, with literature, and even with language didactics.
