This article examines the role of language in the works of the German-Japanese author Yoko Tawada. For the analysis three works in which the writer deals with the languages Japanese and German will be considered: ›Talisman‹, ›Überseezungen‹, and ›Akzentfrei‹. Within the analysis the great imagination of Tawada will be underlined: She invents new words, new linguistic associations and surreal correspondences between signs and images. The world of the writer is a world between reality and fantasy and it must be observed with new eyes in order to be understood.

Within the analysis the great imagination of Tawada will be underlined: She invents new words, new linguistic associations and surreal correspondences between signs and images. The world of the writer is a world between reality and fantasy and it must be observed with new eyes in order to be understood.
