Die Funktionsverbgefüge und der deutsch-tschechische Sprachvergleich

Abstract

The paper is a contribution to an ongoing discussion on the status of the verb-nominal constructions (Funktionsverbgefüge/FVG) and their use in professionally oriented texts. The paper seeks to attempt to view the issue from the multi-lingual perspective while considering the possibility of establishing a more comprehensive delineation of the border between the verb-nominal constructions and free syntactic structures. The research focuses primarily on articles published in Plus magazine which due to its bilingual nature enables a comparison of German and Czech texts. The research outcome is presented in a form of a list of ten most frequent FVGs and functional verbs as well as a comparison with their Czech equivalents. A close attention is paid to such linguistic phenomena that manifest a high level frequency.
