Three popular collections of essays concerning correct language use in German are reviewed from a linguist’s point of view. It is claimed that the overall picture of language that Sick conveys to the layperson is inadequate; in addition, the author fails to reflect explicitly on the purpose and consequences of his prescriptive approach to language use.
