Valenzdynamik historisch gesehen

Abstract

This paper presents the aspect of the dynamics of the verb valency and discusses the question of valency grammar. There are two primary conditions that cause the valency to change: grammatical (in the diachronic view: Tesnière 1959, 1980, Sadziński 1989) and contextual (Růžička 1978, Nikula 2003, Storrer 1992, Agel 2000). The point of this discription is to define changes of valency and to rank them in order to simplify the use of German constructions.
