TY - JOUR TI - Funktionsverbgefüge im „Wörterbuch der Kollokationen im Deutschen“ von Uwe Quasthoff AU - Radzik, Anna TI - Funktionsverbgefüge im „Wörterbuch der Kollokationen im Deutschen“ von Uwe Quasthoff AB - Wörterbuch der Kollokationen im Deutschen by Uwe Quasthoff (2011) is the first dictionary of collocations in the German language. The term “collocation” is used differently in different research traditions. The lexicographic approach to collocations, especially of pedagogical lexicography, assumes that collocations consist of two items: a base, which is semantically autonomous, and the collocate, which cannot be semantically interpreted in isolation. The dictionary contains different structures of collocations. With the base as noun there are: adjective + noun, noun (as subject) + verb, noun (as object) + verb, noun (as prepositional complement) + verb; with the base as verb: adverb + verb; with the base as adjective: adverb + adjective. The “function verb constructions” (Funktionsverbgefüge), which are similar in structure to the noun-verb collocations, are defined by some linguists as a subgroup of collocations, and by others as a different phenomenon. The problem of “function verb constructions” is not mentioned in the preface to this dictionary, but the lexicographical material contains many examples of “composite predicates”. That leads to the reflection on the similarities, the differences and the distinction between the two phenomena.  VL - 2013 IS - Issue 1 (2013) PY - 2014 SN - 2353-656X C1 - 2353-4893 SP - 63 EP - 72 DO - 10.4467/23534893ZG.14.005.1663 UR - https://ejournals.eu/en/journal/zeitschrift-des-verbandes-polnischer-germanisten/article/funktionsverbgefuge-im-worterbuch-der-kollokationen-im-deutschen-von-uwe-quasthoff KW - collocation KW - function verb constructions KW - composite predicates KW - dictionary of collocations KW - lexicography
