Abstract

This link contains the supplementary material for Contrastive Grammar in Use: Quantitative Perspectives on the Verb Phrase in English and German by Hanna Mahler.Blurb: If there is one speculation about English and German that has pervaded scholarly work within contrastive linguistics as well as language teaching and translation handbooks for decades, it is probably the assumption of a more “verbal style” in English compared to German. Settling this question once and for all, the present book provides a comprehensive comparison of verbal style in English and German that pays due attention to language-internal variation by mode and register at the same time.
