Usually, weak inflection of an attributive or nominalized adjective occurs if the adjective is preceded by an inflected determiner: mit diesem technischen Aufwand (‘at great technical expense’). Otherwise, the inflection of the adjective is strong: mit technischem Aufwand. Following this rule of thumb, we would expect strong inflection of an adjective following another adjective whenever the determiner is missing: mit hohem technischem Aufwand. But many German speakers opt for a weak dative singular ending -en following the strong ending -em on the first adjective: mit hohem technischen Aufwand. This chapter shows which explanatory variables play a role in this variation within standard German.
