Approximately 700 neologisms are presented in this first, large dictionary of German neologisms. These neologisms include new words, new meanings of words and new compounds that became part of general language use in the 1990s. The book satisfies the great demand of information among scientists and in the general public with reference to new vocabulary.

Die Autoren sind wissenschaftliche Mitarbeiter in der Abteilung Lexik des Instituts für Deutsche Sprache, Mannheim.
