A descriptive, consistently corpus-based academic grammar of German, aimed at a professional linguistic audience, does not yet exist, and it is unlikely to come into being any time soon – at least as a completed work. After all, the task is immense. Aiming to capture the diversity and variability of German grammar at a high resolution using state-of-the-art methodology while ensuring that its study results are verifiable is an especially enormous undertaking.
What does seem possible in a timely fashion, however, is the development of individual “building blocks” (German: “Bausteine”) for such a grammar. It is precisely this development that is currently underway in the project “Corpus grammar – grammatical variation in Standard and near-Standard German” at the Leibniz Institute for the German Language (IDS). Issue by issue, the “Bausteine”-series presents corpus-based studies in an open access format. The texts are written in the style of chapters for a new, corpus linguistic grammar of German. The series is edited in cooperation with the Department of German Language and Literature at Heidelberg University, under the aegis of the European Linguistics Centre (EZS).
It explicitly aims to contribute to the open science movement by making components of the research process publicly available and usable. In addition to the peer-reviewed texts, the series publishes the results of statistical analyses and, for selected topics, the underlying data sets.
