Helmut Glück
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Helmut Glück studied German studies, Scandinavian studies, and Slavic studies in Tübingen and Bochum, working at the universities of Osnabrück, Hannover, Oldenburg, Siegen, and Cairo. From 1991 to 2015, he was professor of German Linguistics and German as a Foreign Language at the University of Bamberg.[1]
Glück's studies are principally concerned with the German language as a foreign language, its history, and its politics (e.g. discussion of German linguistic science). He edits the Metzler Lexikon Sprache, now in its sixth edition, 700 of whose articles are also by him.
He was the speaker of the jury for the Kulturpreis Deutsche Sprache, an annual award supporting the creative development of the German language.[2]
