Grammatik und Lernerkorpora: Eine korpusorientierte Untersuchung von Präpositionalphrasen im deutschen MERLIN-Korpus

Abstract This pilot study using the German learner corpus MERLIN aims to explore the impact of syntactic functions of prepositional phrases (PP) on the use of prepositions by learners of German as a foreign language. The paper focuses on complements containing specified prepositions licensed by verbs and adjectives, and adjuncts (as well as adjunct-like complements) containing unspecified prep­ositions. The frequent German prepositions an (at) and auf (on) were extracted from the learner corpus and the PPs annotated according to their syntactic func­tions. Results show that specified prepositions lacking semantic content seem to pose significantly greater problems to learners. Additionally, prepositions are omitted significantly more often in complement-PPs than in adjunct-PPs.
