The cipher “1968” evokes a remembrance that has a strong impact on the collective memory, especially through its language. After forty years the time has come for an interim status report, which this collective volume undertakes. It mainly contains linguistic contributions on “1968”, presenting and describing the various manifestations and aspects of this language. Thus, it represents a contribution of cultural-studies to the history of language, as well as to semiotics, and to the history of the media and contemporary history.
