Zwischen Grammatik und Lexikon

This volume assembles the papers presented at a German-Finnish colloquium on the relations between grammar and lexicon held at the University of Leipzig, March 5-7, 1997. The contributions take a closer look at some phenomena of German that either cannot be unequivocally assigned to grammar or lexicon, or else 'gravitate' between the two areas. Major topics dealt with are grammaticalization processes, lexicalization processes, problems of idiomaticity and idiomatization/de-motivation, and the role and relationship of grammar and lexicon in the understanding of literary texts.
