| | German Immigration |
 | | During the past decade, historians have called for an altered conceptual framework for immigration historiography, one characterized by a clearer focus upon the ways in which socially produced structures of meaning are expressed in and shaped by language, behavior, metaphors, and institutions. |
| | In contract to Martin Luther’s Middle-High German, which refers to the dialects of Germany’s east-west midsection, Low German is the language of the northern lowlands, of the North Sea and Baltic coasts. |
| | Too often, the phrase, "German immigration," is conflated in much the same way that a phrase like "English Literature" is conflated, the result being that important geographical, linguistic, and cultural differences are elided and a large portion of the population supposedly described by the phrase is rendered invisible. |
