This paper investigates the use of linking adverbs in adversative constructions in German and Italian. In Italian those constructions are very frequently formulated with adverbs such as invece, while wordings without a lexical connective are more typical of German. Corpus data show that the syntactic und semantic conditions favouring the use of adversative adverbs are by and large the same in both languages. Lexical connectives can increase explicitness when the intended adversative interpretation is not obvious on other grounds. The higher frequency of adversative adverbs in Italian is shown to be a consequence of the more restrictive rules of the placement of prosodic accent.
Der Beitrag untersucht Gemeinsamkeiten und Unterschiede in der grammatischen Gestaltung adversativer Satzverknüpfungen in der deutschen und der italienischen Schriftsprache. Die Analyse der verfügbaren Sprachmittel und ihrer Nutzung in Korpusdaten kann dazu beitragen, Auffälligkeiten in Texten italienischer Deutschschreiber zu erklären.
