Complex nominal phrases containing proper names in German and in German-English-Dutch comparison from a synchronic and diachronic perspective

该项目的目的是一个全面的描述和分析专有名词复合在当今德国，无论是从语义功能和形态句法的观点。特别是，该项目侧重于带有修饰语的化合物，这些修饰语对头部的参考具有决定性或识别性功能，例如“多特蒙德bestätigt Götze-Wechsel zu Bayern”（“多特蒙德证实Götze转会到拜仁”）或“Sie legte Blumen am Kant-Grab nieder”（“她在康德墓前放下了鲜花”）。此类化合物在文献中很少被考虑。这些特殊的语义和功能属性提出了各种各样的问题，这些问题不仅涉及它们的语义功能分析，而且涉及跨语言比较和语言接触，它们的历时发展和语法理论方面的问题。出于这个原因，该项目的目的是分析这些复合词在现代语言中的语义功能和形态句法特性，以及在语料库数据的基础上，这种可能相当年轻的名词性复合词亚型的发展。特别有趣的是英语对德语结构的影响，也是从与荷兰语的对比角度来看的。然而，除了专名复合词的主题之外，该项目还将考虑包含专名（尽管不是中心语）的其他类型的名词性结构。这与这样一种观点有关，即这种结构，例如属格或介词短语结构，及其特定的限制可能在专名复合词的历史发展过程中发挥了作用。最后，本文从语法理论的角度对专名复合词进行了讨论，并以专名复合词为例分析了词法、句法和词汇的关系。

The aim of the project is a comprehensive description and analysis of proper name compounding in present-day German, both from a semantic-functional and a morphosyntactic viewpoint. In particular, the project focuses on compounds with modifiers that have a determining or rather identifying function with regard to the reference of the head, such as in 'Dortmund bestätigt Götze-Wechsel zu Bayern' ('Dortmund confirms Götze transfer to Bayern') or 'Sie legte Blumen am Kant-Grab nieder' ('She laid down flowers at the Kant tomb'). Such compounds have rarely been considered in the literature. Their specific semantic and functional properties raise various questions which concern not only their semantic-functional analysis but also the issue of cross-linguistic comparison and language contact, their diachronic development and aspects of grammatical theory. For this reason, the aim of the project is to analyse the semantic-functional and morphosyntactic properties of these compounds in present-day language as well as the development of this - presumably rather young - subtype of nominal compounding on the basis of corpus data. Of particular interest is the question of the English influence on the German construction, also from a contrastive perspective with Dutch. However, besides the subject of proper name compounds the project will also take into account other kinds of nominal constructions that contain a proper name (although not as head). This has to do with the idea that such constructions, for instance the genitive or constructions with prepositional phrases, and their specific restrictions may have played a role in the process of the historical development of proper name compounds. Finally, proper name compounds are to be discussed from the perspective of grammatical theory as an exemplary case study with regard to the relation between morphology, syntax and the lexicon.
