Das Buch vereinigt 15 Beitrage zur historischen Valenzforschung. Die Autoren dokumentieren den gegenwartigen Stand der Forschung und unterstutzen zugleich Bestrebungen fur ein Worterbuch, das die Entwicklung der Valenz deutscher Verben im Uberblick beschreibt. Dazu wird die grundlegende Korpusfrage diskutiert. Ferner erortern die Autoren an ausgewahlten Beispielen, wie die Verbumgebung im Satz auf den historischen deutschen Sprachstufen festzustellen ist. Neu sind Beitrage, die sich mit dem Verhaltnis von historischer Valenz und Konstruktionsgrammatik auseinandersetzen.

Die vorliegende Untersuchung widmet sich der historischen formelhaften Sprache und versucht im Sinne der theoretischen und methodischen Grundlagenforschung erstmals systematisch die Fragen danach zu beantworten, was in den historischen Entwicklungsstufen einer Sprache als formelhaft gelten kann, welcher Pragung diese Formelhaftigkeit ist, auf welchen Ebenen sie zustande kommt und wie die diachronen Dynamiken der Verfestigungsprozesse aussehen.

Each chapter addresses how common words and long-established grammatical rules are often misused or ignored altogether - including such common words as 'interesting', 'possible', and 'apparent'. By tackling language...
