Gramática pedagógica del alemán para hispanohablantes: Las reglas de posición de la oración alemana

Abstract

Word order in German sentences differs greatly from Spanish word order, and these differences make both the teaching and learning of German difficult. The objective of this article is to clarify this seldom dealt with problem by placing it within a framework of a series of efforts, which have been undertaken to systematize the teaching of German grammar. It takes into account the real needs of the learner and is based on a linguistic theory derived from a grammar of dependency as well as the functional sentence perspective. An attempt is made to formulate adequate and consistent rules at a theoretical level which at the same time are plausible and pedagogically manageable. These rules have been experimented within the classroom.
