«Sick of Sick?» is the linguistics essay by André Meinunger, published by Kulturverlag Kadmos in 2008, in paperback (176 pages, in German).
Linguist André Meinunger takes Bastian Sick's column «Zwiebelfisch» as his starting point to review some of its analyses of German. In an equally accessible tone, he argues that the language is sometimes more complex and sometimes simpler than the well-known popularizer suggests, and maintains that not all of his diagnoses withstand critical scrutiny.
The original subtitle, as it appears on the cover, is «Ein Streifzug durch die Sprache als Antwort auf den »Zwiebelfisch«».
For readers interested in the German language and in linguistic popularization, particularly those who follow the work of Bastian Sick.
