The focus here is both on the development of syntactic description
and on changes in writing habits in 18th century Germany. The
search for controversial strictures on correct syntactic use
engages the study first of all in an analysis of the work of
linguistic theoreticians of the period. Then these controversial
aspects of word order and sentence complexity are discussed in
terms of actual contemporary usage. Finally the study traces the
reciprocal influences discernible between the grammatical and
rhetorical requirements of the theoreticians and the way language
was actually used, thus casting light on the influence of
individual theoreticians on the development of the language.
