Opis

The monograph is devoted to the study of the German-German intercultural conflict, which is expressed in the recipient's belonging to the Western or Eastern linguistic and cultural space of the united Germany. The unification of the two parts of the country was forced, which had a negative impact on the integration of East Germans in the cultural and linguistic space of Germany. This has now led to the psychological concept of a "wall in the mind" ("Mauer in Köpfen"), which represents a lack of understanding between West Germans and East Germans. Politically, among East Germans this psychological concept manifests itself in the presence of nostalgia for the times of the GDR "Ostalgie" (from the words "Ost" (East) and "Nostalgie" (nostalgia), and linguistically, in the use of the DDR-Deutsch version of the national language typical of East Germany.
