Le trasformazioni sintattiche del Frühneuhochdeutsch valutate da tre grammatici del tempo

Abstract

The present contribution investigates three grammars dating back to the Early New High German period: Albertus’ Teutsch Grammatick oder Sprachkunst (1573), Olinger’s Vnderricht der Hoch Teutschen Spraach (1573) and Kromayer’s Deutsche Grammatica / Zum newen Methodo / der Jugend zum besten / zugerichtet (1618).The main purpose of the work is to check the most considerable changes of the Early New High German in the point of view of the three mentioned grammarians. The work opens with a general analysis of the three texts, of their addressees, their purposes and their structure. Afterwards a detailed study of the syntactic changes about name, verb, adverb and preposition is carried out.
