事件时间结构的跨语言研究，包括闪米特语（阿尔及利亚阿拉伯语，现代标准阿拉伯语），日耳曼语（英语，德语，荷兰语，挪威语）和罗曼语（法语，意大利语，西班牙语），揭示了事件解释方式的语言特定效应，表明基本原则既受视角驱动，又与语法化模式有关。在本文中，进一步的句法领域将研究其对信息组织的功能含义：语法主语。我们仔细看看英语和德语，它们在主语范畴的句法特性方面有所不同。以电影复述为基础，我们可以发现，在主语范畴的实现上，跨语言差异在形式和功能层面上都是系统的。这些发现是在信息组织差异的基础上解释的，信息组织差异是由各自主题类别的语法特性和词序限制（如V2）驱动的。在此背景下，采用平行启发法分析了英语-德语/德语-英语这两种非常高级的学习语言。研究表明，尽管二语使用者可以使用各种表达手段，但他们并没有识别出主语等句法类别对信息组织的影响。
SummaryCross-linguistic studies of event time structures which include Semitic (Algerian Arabic, Modern Standard Arabic), Germanic (English, German, Dutch, Norwegian), and Romance languages (French, Italian, Spanish) reveal language-specific effects in the way events are construed, showing that the underlying principles are both perspective driven and linked to patterns of grammaticisation. In this paper a further syntactic domain will be investigated with respect to its functional implications for information organisation: the grammatical subject.We take a closer look at English and German, which differ with respect to the syntactic properties of the subject category. Using film-renarrations as the data base it can be shown that cross linguistic differences in the realisation of the subject category are systematic at the formal as well as at the functional level. These findings are explained on the basis of differences in information organisation which are driven by grammatical properties of the respective subject category and word order constraints such as V2.Against this background, very advanced learner languages English-German/German-English are analysed, using parallel elicitation methods. It can be shown that although the full range of expressive means are available for the L2 speakers, they have not identified the implications which a syntactic category such as the subject has for information organisation.
