The goal of our project is to provide a comprehensive and detailed description of major contrasts between English and German in both the grammar and the lexicon. Building on a monograph that was primarily intended as a text book for university education (König & Gast 2007, "Understanding English-German Contrasts"), individual phenomena and problems that have not yet been fully understood will undergo further examination. Specifically, the project is concerned with the following subject areas: (i) complementation (with emphasis on sentential complements), (ii) information structure and stress )e.g. verum focus) and (iii) the structure and interpretation of the noun phrase (with a focus on determination and compounding).In contrast to the programme of Contrastive Linguistics formulated in the 1960s and 1970s, which was primarily aimed at improving foreign language teaching, our project is not intended as a contribution to applied linguistics. It focuses on the description of interesting contrasts between English and German as well as possible explanations for these contrasts.

我们的项目的目标是提供一个全面和详细的描述英语和德语之间的语法和词汇的主要对比。在主要作为大学教育教科书的专著（König & Gast 2007，“Understanding English-German Contrasts”）的基础上，对尚未完全理解的个别现象和问题进行进一步的研究。具体而言，该项目涉及以下主题领域：（一）互补（重点是主谓补语），（ii）信息结构和重音（如动词焦点）和（iii）名词短语的结构和解释（重点是确定和复合）。与20世纪60年代和70年代制定的对比语言学计划相比，我们的项目主要是为了提高外语教学，而不是为了对应用语言学做出贡献。它侧重于描述英语和德语之间有趣的对比以及对这些对比的可能解释。
