Erwachsene als Adressat*innen historischer Fibeln für Kinder. Beispiele aus der deutschsprachigen Schweiz vom 16. bis zum 19. Jahrhundert

This paper deals with those parts of historical reading primers for children that are addressed to adults. Based on a corpus of 180 Swiss-German primers from the 16th to the 19th century, it shows where this information is placed in the primer and what communicative purpose it serves. The long tradition of double addressing was only broken in the second half of the 19th century, when the first separate companion volumes for teachers appeared and the primer itself was reserved for children.
