| Abstract: | As one may already understand from the title this paper provides its readers with a historical overview of the origin and development of both the Swiss German language itself and its literature. Following this, the author investigate the question whether the Swiss German language is just another variety of Standard German or whether it has meanwhile already reached the status of an autonomous language, a standpoint which represents the favoured estimation of most Swiss German speakers. |
