点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

On the basis of the usage examples, it became clear that various verbs were involved in the inchoative expressions in the German history. Especially the verbs' werden',' beginnen' and' kommen' were often used as the auxiliary verbs. But there are only few examples of the verb' gehen'. It seems possible to explain these facts in the framework of the linguistic typology. And it also seems possible to describe the historical change of the usage of the verb' werden' as the change of the typological pattern. But the further investigations will be needed to develop a theory of typological changes of languages.
