Sachlichkeit und Emotion in der Wirtschaftssprache anhand ausgewählter Wortschatzbeispiele aus der Wirtschaftspresse des ausgehenden 19. Jahrhunderts

The article presents examples of vocabulary in quotations from the economic press from 1885–1886, which on the one hand show the rationality of the language of economy, but on the other hand emotions. It is – as it was hundred years later – a time of economic prosperity and of impending crisis. For comparison, examples from the press of the 20th century (1995–1996) are cited to show similarities and development of the language of economy during this period. Emotions have always accompanied economic processes, its successes and failures, for over 100 years.
