Hartmut Haberland

Hartmut Haberland (born 3 February 1948[1] in Hanover, Germany[2]) is a German-Danish linguist and professor emeritus at Roskilde University in Denmark.

Currently, he is a co-editor of Pragmatics and Society,[4] and an editor of Acta Linguistica Hafniensia, the journal of the Linguistic Circle of Copenhagen.

Die schlechte Aufhebung sozialer Ungleichheit durch Sprache from 1973 was used in Europe as his first work with widespread recognition.

[6] The launch of Journal of Pragmatics (with co-editor Jacob L. Mey) went against the Chomskyan perspectives on linguistics at the time.

In particular, he created attention to the influence of English on the Danish language in terms of power and ideology, through concepts on hegemony and globalization.
