This volume contains selected proceedings of the conferences held at Kirchberg, August 26, 1984 and Essen, November 21-24, 1984 devoted to Karl Buhler's Theory of Language. Both conferences took place exactly fifty years after the publication of Buhler's masterpiece. However, it was felt necessary to bring renewed attention to Buhler's work in order to highlight its importance. The contributions in this volume, all in the original German language, focus on a wide range of perspectives: biographical, psychological, sociological, semiotic and linguistic.
