Abstract

[Machine translation] On the linguistic level, Lingua Tertii fulfills Imperii. A philologist's notebook (1947) by the Jewish scientist Victor Klemperer has a fundamental function, because shortly after the end of the war, this work attempts to “make clear and warn against the poison of LTI” (LTI). However, little attention has been paid by critics to date to the individual and collective memory content of the work, which prove to be an occasion and proof of philological considerations and contribute to the reconstruction of the near past of both a persecuted German intellectual and a people driven into National Socialist intoxication., In LTI, Victor Klemperer draws on written, spoken, official, private, solemn, cruel and sometimes funny words that become stages of remembrance and illustrate an identity concept in which experience and language merge. Words are both objects of research and life experiences; they are the form and content of an era, a philological study, a human life, a world disaster. , The dividing line between past and present was clearly drawn in 1945; LTI shows, however, that this border is still partly to be reinforced on the individual and collective level of language and identity. Victor Klemperer's engagement with the Third Reich is rooted precisely in the combination of critical reflection and vivid memories, which, with LTI, makes a unique contribution to processing and overcoming the National Socialist tragedy in the future.
