Grammatik Aus Nhe Und Distanz

This collection represents a preliminary theoretical, methodological, and empirical stage to a planned stratificational grammar of New High German. The conviction uniting these articles is that the diamedial dimension plays a special role in the grammatical development of New High German and that this fact can only be taken due account of by a theoretically sound and methodologically practicable model of the proximal/distal dimension. The articles present theoretical and methodological approaches to the phenomenon of proximal/distal speech and apply them to 15 source texts.
