The publication series ‘Regional Language and Regional Culture. Mecklenburg-Vorpommern im ostniederdeutschen Kontext’ edited by Priv.-Doz. Dr Birte Arendt (University of Greifswald),
Prof. Dr Andreas Bieberstedt (University of Rostock), Prof. Dr Doreen Brandt (University of Oldenburg) and Priv.-Doz. Dr Klaas-Hinrich Ehlers (University of Rostock) deals with linguistic, historical and didactic research questions in the context of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. Seven volumes have now been published (as of 2024), three of which are available as open access.

‘The aim of the series is to unite work on language and communication in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern under one publishing umbrella and to bring together the previously disparate research in this field for the first time and in the long term. Linguistic research into the language(s) in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern has a tradition dating back to the 19th century (and beyond), with a long focus on the historical Middle Low German language forms and the basic dialectal varieties, i.e. the traditional Mecklenburg and Pomeranian dialects. In the context of more recent dialectology and regional language research, an increased scientific interest in the recent regional language can also be observed in recent years, whose structuring, differentiation, development and use is being analysed.’ - Peter Lang
