Akademische Musterung eines Unterprivilegierten

Abstrakt

Werner Abraham‘s hindsight on his academic career as coming from the first son in a totally unacademic family of three children. In his vita, he sketches his life and career as a university professor and international linguist, who never has lost his respect and love for the German language both as the medium for lyrics and his scientific writings about its intricate structure as well as its enigmatic -mystic depths. He is bearer of the medal of the Scientific Academy of the Netherlands rewarded to him at the Rijksuniversiteit of Groningen in 2000.
