Abstract
This theoretically orientated article focuses on ›Viennese (vernacular/non-standard) German‹. It is methodologically based on a functional theory of language variation within an enlarged and adapted theoretical framework of sociolinguistics which has been influenced by Niklas Luhmann’s sociological systems theory. The aim of this approach is to explain the frequent use of Viennese vernacular/non-standard German in the context of written and (intended) spoken standard German as an example for a process called Metasociosemiosis.
