| Course content |
|
With respect to the fact that older developmental stages of German are only accessible through written sources, the main focus will be on the methodology and analysis of sources at the syntactic level. In the area of methodology, two kinds of texts will be discussed from the point of view of syntax: Old High German texts translated from Latin and Middle High German poetic texts. The following syntactic phenomena will be treated in detail: 1. Kasussyntax (Genitiv) 2. Kongruenzphänomene 3. Periphrastische Verbformen 4. Die Entwicklung der Verbstellung 5. Die Negation
