CORPUS RESEARCH ON THE PERFECT TENSE MARKEDNESS VARIABILITY AMONG THE POSITIONAL VERBS IN THE COLLOQUIAL GERMAN

Abstract

The article aims to study the grammatical semantics of Perfect tense in the German language from the viewpoint of linguistic typology. The special attention is paid to the non-standard Perfect markedness in the colloquial German, in particular, using the auxiliary verb “ sein ” with the positional verbs in its South German areal. The paper examines the unique corpus data of the leading research center in the sphere of German language studies - Institute of German language in Mannheim.
