by Ernst Peter

Description

This foundational work for the study of German linguistics consists of three chapters:

  • Grammar outlines the linguistic levels phonetics/phonology, morphology/word formation as well as traditional, dependency and generative syntax.
  • Semantics discusses the linguistic sign, the word and the sentence as language-internal units.
  • Pragmatics examines the language-external factors of language as a form of communication within an individual, situational and social context.
