- Abstract
It has been widely held that the differences between academic language and languages for special purposes are marginal. This paper attempts to demonstrate, however, that academic varieties are the result of ausbau with respect to genuinely academic purposes. It is shown that two such ausbau areas are of special importance for the didactics of German as a foreign academic language: ordinary academic language, i.e. linguistic devices pertinent to the business of academic research as such, irrespective of the area of research; and eristic structures, i.e. linguistic devices pertinent to the handling of the precariousness of new academic knowledge within a competitive community.
