Doubts about whether to write words separately or together in
German are frequently grammatical in nature. Here various
combinations are discussed (noun-verb combinations, adjective-verb
combinations, various combinations with adjectives and participles)
to establish whether the examples in question are complex words or
syntagmas. In the process, criteria are identified for words and
non-words (syntagmas) and drawn upon to propose rules for writing
words separately or together. At the same time it leaves a degree
of latitude, as tolerance in doubtful cases is appropriate to the
system.
The topics addressed in this volume dedicated to the linguist and
German studies scholar Peter Eisenberg are grouped under four
headings. The first section devoted to phonology, syllabification
and the word is followed by essays on the grammar of two central
parts of speech, the noun and the verb. Section four is given over
to the illumination of sentence grammar from very different
vantages. All four sections encompass a wide array of perspectives,
ranging from theoretical concerns to practical questions of school
instruction, the teaching of German as a foreign language,
orthography and language cultivation.
