Synopsis

Master German syntax, from subject to clause order, in one thorough reference
This two‑volume study offers a deep dive into New High German with a careful look at how sentences are built, how verbs behave, and how subordinate clauses shift word order. It’s a substantial resource for students of historical and modern German, as well as linguists seeking a rigorous, period‑aware treatment of grammar.

The volume covers subjects such as forms of the subject and predicate, classification of sentences, transitive and intransitive verbs, and complex topics like infinitives, participles, and the many ways German handles clause relationships. It also includes discussion of noun phrases, adjectives, numerals, pronouns, and the role of articles in German syntax. The material is presented with examples drawn from both classical and contemporary usage, helping readers see how rules have evolved over time.




  • Detailed explanations of sentence types, verb forms, and tense usage

  • Explanations of subordinate clauses, their placement, and transposition rules

  • Discussions of noun-phrase structure, adjectives, and pronouns in various constructions



Ideal for readers of advanced grammar, historical linguistics, and those studying German syntax in depth. This edition appeals to scholars who want a precise, example‑driven guide to the rules that shape German sentence construction.
