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

该项目的目的是从语义功能和形态句法的角度对现代德语专有名称复合进行全面描述和分析。该项目特别关注带有修饰语的复合词，这些修饰语对头部的指称具有决定性或更确切地说具有识别功能，例如“Dortmund bestätigt Götze-Wechsel zu Bayern”（“Dortmund确认Götze转会到拜仁”）或“Sie legte Blumen am Kant- grab nieder”（“她在康德墓前献花”）。这些化合物在文献中很少被考虑。它们独特的语义和功能特性引发了各种各样的问题，这些问题不仅涉及它们的语义功能分析，还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。因此，该项目的目的是分析现代语言中这些复合词的语义功能和形态句法特性，以及基于语料库数据的这一可能相当年轻的名词复合词亚型的发展。特别有趣的是英语对德语结构的影响问题，也是从与荷兰语的对比角度来看的。然而，除了专有名词复合词的主语外，该项目还将考虑其他类型包含专有名词的名义结构（尽管不是作为词头）。这与这样一种观点有关，即这些结构，例如属格或带有介词短语的结构，以及它们的特定限制可能在专有名词复合词的历史发展过程中发挥了作用。最后，从语法理论的角度对专有名词复合词进行了探讨，并以其为例，探讨了专有名词复合词的词法、句法和词汇之间的关系。

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.
