The language that you speak everyday has come naturally to you. Although a parent may correct your grammar “I have done, NOT I done!”, they don’t usually shout “That’s not the correct past participle! You used your modal verb incorrectly!” In German, we’re expected to know what all of this means when we’re not even sure of it in English. Let’s fix that.

  • 'Dutch As an SOV Language'
    ‘Dutch as an SOV Language’ Jan Koster bron Jan Koster, ‘Dutch as an SOV Language.’ In: Linguistic analysis 1 (1975), p. 111-136. Zie voor verantwoording: http://www.dbnl.org/tekst/kost007dutc01_01/colofon.php © 2002 dbnl / Jan Koster 111 Dutch as an SOV Language* Jan Koster University of Amsterdam; University of Utrecht Received October 29, 1974 1. In Dutch and German, the position of the (finite) verb in main clauses differs from that in subordinate clauses. The unmarked order of the former is Subject Verb Object (SVO), while the latter exhibit an SOV pattern. Therefore, which order is basic is a fundamental problem in Dutch and German grammar. In this paper, I want to show that the underlying order of Dutch is SOV and that the SVO pattern of main clauses is the result of a last cyclical rule of Verb Placement. 1.1 Since Bach [1] and Bierwisch [5], it has been assumed that German is an SOV language. A consequence of this analysis is that the word order in subordinate clauses is considered basic. This conclusion is compatible with the idea that on the last cycle a broader class of transformations applies, namely the class of root transformations [10]. As for the word order, Dutch is similar to German in that the verbs are in final position in subordinate clauses. Also as in German, in declarative main clauses the finite verb is in second position. If the word order of subordinate clauses is basic, we have to postulate a root transformation of Verb Placement which puts the (finite) verb in second position.

  • A Middle High German Primer, with Grammar, Notes, and Glossary
    > 1053 MIDDLE HIGH GERMAN PRIMER WITH GRAMMAR, NOTES, AND GLOSSARY BY JOSEPH WRIGHT M.A., PH.D., D.C.L., LL.D., L1TT.D. FELLOW OF THE BRITISH ACADEMY CORPUS CHRISTI PROFESSOR OF COMPARATIVE PHILOLOGY IN THE UNIVERSITY OF OXFORD THIRD EDITION RE-WRITTEN AND ENLARGED AT THE CLARENDON PRESS 1917 OXFORD UNIVERSITY PRESS LONDON EDINBURGH GLASGOW NEW YORK TORONTO MELBOURNE BOMBAY HUMPHREY MILFORD PUBLISHER TO THE UNIVERSITY pr EXTRACTS FROM THE PREFACES TO THE FIRST AND SECOND EDITIONS THE present book has been written in the hope that it will serve as an elementary introduction to the larger German works on the subject from which I have appro- priated whatever seemed necessary for the purpose. In the grammar much aid has been derived from Paul's Mittelhochdeutsche Grammatik, second edition, Halle, 1884, and Weinhold's Mittelhochdeutsche Grammatik, second edition, Paderborn, 1883. The former work, besides con- taining by far the most complete syntax, is also the only Middle High German Grammar which is based on the present state of German Philology. ... I believe that the day is not far distant when English students will take a much more lively interest in the study of their own and the other Germanic languages (especially German and Old Norse) than has hitherto been the case. And if this little book should contribute anything towards furthering the cause, it will have amply fulfilled its purpose. LONDON : January, 1888. WHEN I wrote the preface to the first edition of this primer in 1888, I ventured to predict that the interest of English students in the subject would grow and develop as time went on, but I hardly expected that it would grow so much that a second edition of the book would be required within iv Preface to the Second Edition so short a period.

  • Materials for Translating English Into German with In- Dexes of Words and Explanatory Notes
    EiffclSriNTO ääi>i£l{)EiLB£:RG Julius Groos, Publisher, Heidelberg. Gaspey-Otto-Sauer's method for the learning of Modern languages. „Mit jeder neuerlernten Sprache gewinnt man eine neue Seele." Karl V. The textbooks of the Gaspey-Otto-Sauer method have, within the last ten years, acquired a universal reputation, increasing in pro- portion as a knowledge of living languages has become a necessity of modern life. The chief points of advantage, by which they com- pare favorably with thousands of similar books, are lowness of price and good appearance, the happy union of theory and practice, the clear scientific basis of the grammar proper combined with prac- tical conversational exercises, and the system, here conceived for the first time and consistently carried out, by which the pupil is really taught to speak and write the foreign language. To this method is entirely due the enormous success with which the Gaspey-Otto-Sauer textbooks have met; most other gram- mars either content themselves with giving the theoretical exposition of the grammatical forms and trouble the pupil with a confused mass of the most far-fetched irregularities and exceptions without ever applying them, or go to the other extreme, and simply teach him to repeat in a parrot-like manner a few colloquial phrases without letting him grasp the real genius of the foreign language. The superiority of the Gaspey-Otto-Sauer textbooks is most clearly proved by the unanimous opinion of the press in all quarters of the Globe, by the numerous editions they have hitherto passed through, by the success attending the books based on this method in other foreign languages and lastly even by the frequent attempts at imitation, plagiarism and fraudulent impressions.

  • Classical Text in Translation the Tasks of Yiddish Philology
    Science in Context 20(2), 355–373 (2007). Copyright C Cambridge University Press doi:10.1017/S0269889707001305 Printed in the United Kingdom Classical Text in Translation The Tasks of Yiddish Philology Ber Borochov Translated by Jacob Engelhardt and Dalit Berman Dedicated to the illustrious memory of the Jewish researcher and the noble scholar of the Jewish people and its language, Dr. Philipp Mansch of Lwow´ (1838–1890), who died a premature death and is unjustly forgotten. Judeo-German developed, like any popular dialect, according to unconscious and natural laws. No gardener nursed and tended it, nobody cut back its wild shoots. (Ph. Mansch 1888)1 I Of all sciences (visnshaftn), philology plays the greatest role in the national revival of oppressed peoples (felker). Philology is more than mere linguistics, more than a hollow theory for armchair academics, since it is a practical guide for the people. It comprises certain theoretical and historical elements, such as the history of the language and belletristic literature, the study of the general laws by which the language developed, and so on. However, the purposes and the educational significance of philology are to be found in the everyday life of the people. The first objective of an awakening people is the mastery of its own language so that it may be used in a better, broader, and more productive way in its national creativity (shafn). As long as a people remain “illiterate” in their own language, one cannot yet speak of a national culture (natsyonale kultur). A national culture consists not only of the poetic works of great writers, but also, and primarily, of the skill of its people to speak and write properly in their mother tongue.

  • What You Oughta Know About Basic German Grammar: the 20-Minute Guide
    What You Oughta Know About Basic German Grammar: The 20-minute Guide fluentu.com/blog/german/german-grammar-basics/ Ryan Sitzman September 14, 2016 We all know the stereotypes of the German language. It sounds harsh and guttural. Its grammar is needlessly complicated. It has ridiculously long words. I was going to start this post with an encouraging and reassuring message that German isn’t actually that bad, but I think you already know that. Of course, every language has elements that seem strange, difficult or tricky—even extending to cultural understanding—when compared to our native language, and German is no exception. But I’m guessing that since you’re reading a post about German, you’ve already accepted these realities, and now you’re ready tog et down to some real learning. Right? I know what they say about making assumptions, but the other main assumption I’ll make today is that you’re at least a bit familiar with English grammar. I’m making that assumption because you’re reading this in English, and if it’s your native language, you probably had some lessons about the difference between a noun and a pronoun, even if it was years ago in junior high school. Alternately, if English isn’t your native language, then that’s maybe even better for our purposes today! That means that you had to learn how to speak English from your native language, and you probably have even more understanding about what it takes to learn a new language. Either way, if you can learn English, you can also learn German.
