Ulrich Busse is Full Professor of English Linguistics at Martin Luther University at Halle-Wittenberg, Germany. Over the past twenty years, he has published widely on Anglo-German language contact and its lexicographical description, including a book and a three-volume dictionary on the influence of English on Present-day German. His general interest in lexis and its description is reflected in a number of publications on lexicology and (meta-) lexicography. In English historical linguistics, he has worked on Early Modern English, historical pragmatics and the language of Shakespeare in particular. More recently, he has investigated the role of prescription and description in the codification of English as exemplified in usage manuals.
