Vom ZISW zum ZAS
(2021)
Das Leibniz-Zentrum Allgemeine Sprachwissenschaft (ZAS) ist jetzt 25 Jahre alt, im besten Alter sozusagen. Es hat Erfahrungen gesammelt, sich mit theoretischen Forschungen zur Phonetik und Phonologie, Morphologie, Syntax, Semantik und Pragmatik weltweit einen Namen gemacht. Anlässlich seines Jubiläums fragt man sich, wo es seine Ursprünge hat und unter welchen Umständen es ›groß‹ geworden ist. Diesen beiden Fragen versuche ich in diesem Beitrag nachzugehen. Ich tue das, weil ich die Zeitzeugin bin, die das ZAS am längsten begleitet hat.
This paper has two distinct but interdependent goals. The empirical and analytical primary goal is to present a detailed overview of the patterns of (syntactico-semantic) argument structure and (morpho-syntactic) argument realization found with clause-embedding predicates in German. In particular, it will elucidate the observable relationships and dependencies between them, with a special focus on prepositional object clauses. The methodological secondary goal is to demonstrate the recently published ZAS Database of Clause-Embedding Predicates and illustrate its usefulness in approaching a concrete research agenda. The goals are aligned with each other because the data on patterns of argument structure and realization were collected using the database, and indeed the relevant questions could not have been investigated in such a thorough and efficient way without it. We will begin in Part 1 with an introduction to the database, its structure, and why and how it was created, before moving in Part 2 to the presentation of the data and analysis of argument structure and argument realization.
