Abstract

The travel dictionary, a hitherto little-studied type of dictionary, however, proves to be extremely interesting as it allows the cultural history of the journey and the traveller to be reconstructed. The history of the German language offers many examples of how, from time to time, attempts were made to overcome language barriers with the help of glossaries, dictionaries and phrase books. This study presents some examples, from the oldest manuscripts to the most recent dictionaries.
