«Österreichisch für Fortgeschrittene» is a humorous dictionary of Austrian German by Hans Adlassnig and Roman Tschirk (Amalthea Verlag, hardback).
An illustrated, light-hearted lexicon for those who already master standard German and want to approach the German of Austria. It brings together expressions and peculiarities of Viennese usage, described as a mix of German, Italian, Jewish and Slavic influences, and ironically warns that it would be unfair to call it a simple language error.
The work has 140 pages and is written in German; the subtitle is «Ein heiteres Lexikon» and the cover shows a caricature signed «RANG.»
A work intended for advanced German learners, linguistics enthusiasts and readers interested in the Austrian variety of the language.
