Early 19th century synchronic grammar was of cardinal significance
for the development of traditional syntax. In the work done by
scholars associated with the Frankfurtischer Gelehrtenverein fA1/4r
deutsche Sprache (Frankfurt Society for Scholarly Research into the
German Language) a first attempt was undertaken to provide a
systematic description of the content side of syntactic structures.
The present volume examines the book "Syntax of the German
Language" (1830/32) by Simon Heinrich Adolf Herling, alongside K.F.
Becker one of the most important exponents of synchronic grammar in
the first half of the 19th century. With specific reference to
Herling's categories for the simple sentence, the study provides a
systematic description of Herling's logical semantic classification
of syntactic structures and discusses it critically against the
background of contemporary linguistics and more recent work done on
the problems of categorization.
