Diskurse des Alter(n)s: #x000D6;ffentliches Sprechen #x000FC;ber Alter in der Bundesrepublik Deutschland

This study undertakes a thematic and linguistic analysis of non-scientific discourse in the mass media on the topics of age and aging over multiple decades (from the 1950s through to the 2000s). It applies the methods of linguistic discourse analysis to determine the extent to which public speaking about age and aging has changed in the face of a new socioeconomic and demographic situation.
