 Professor Pfrehm's article, "The role of age in Austrians’ perceptions of the frequency of use and likeability of lexical Teutonisms and Austriacisms," appeared in the most recent issue of Folia Linguistica, the double-blind peer-reviewed journal of the Societas Linguistica Europaea.

 The article explores whether, and to what extent, there is empirical support for
the folk linguistic belief, variously expressed by adult native speakers of German
in Eastern Austria, that younger Austrians harbor more sympathetic attitudes
toward the German variety and more negative attitudes toward the Austrian
variety of the German language.
