Helbig, Gerhard – Deutsch als Fremdsprache, 1974

They are (1) pronouns, (2) pronominal adverbs - "dadurch,""hiermit,""wofur," etc., and (3) pro-adverbs - "dort,""dann," etc. Both (2) and (3) stand for combinations of preposition plus preceding substantive; (3) does this only semantically, while (2) marks the relation overtly.

Zerebkov, V. A. – Deutsch als Fremdsprache, 1975
Discusses two kinds of "temporal indifference" in German tense forms: "timelessness" (Function I) and "all-time-ness" (Function II).

Paraschkewoff, Boris – Deutsch als Fremdsprache, 1974
The contemporary German, predicate adjective and adjectival adverb are expressed by the same form. Although modern grammatical research gathers the various functions of the adjective under "indicator of kind," school practice still separates adjective and adverb. The historical development of qualitative adverbs is outlined. (Text is in German.)…

Helbig, Gerhard – Deutsch als Fremdsprache, 1974
Offers a new classification of the indirect question clause, as one of four categories of subordinate clauses, according to content, while retaining the three traditional form categories, namely, conjunctional, relative, and those introduced by "w-" interrogative words.

Michailow, L. M. – Deutsch als Fremdsprache, 1974
Syntagmatics is the name given to the regular linking of speech units in speaking. In German, a rigid organization gives structural cohesion to the sentence. Ellipsis before a predicate adjective is discussed, wherein the sentence, through word order and intonation, becomes functional, although apparently syntactically anomalous. (Text is in…

PDF pending restorationDunbar, Ronald W. – 1980
The option of verb-final versus verb-second (V2) order in subordinate clauses in German is subject to regularity when discourse context is taken into account. The artificial rule which places the verb at the end of any subordinate clause obliterates the feel for discourse structure that is still present in colloquial German. The option of using V2…
