Deutsche Satzstruktur

The aim of this introduction is to sharpen the understanding of the internal structure of German sentences and other syntactic structures. Clearly and understandably written, this introduction to syntactic analysis is suitable not only as a companion book for classes but also as a reference work. It provides a solid foundation for any type of advanced study of German and general syntax, regardless of the theoretical framework. It covers several central aspects of syntactic analysis, including constituent structure, parts of speech and phrase categories, syntactic functions, basic topological concepts, and fundamentals of argument structure. The book is supplemented by numerous exercises, many of which include solution hints, as well as indices.
