Description

The book examines the use of the definite article in combination with personal names in German (“der Peter,” “die Merkel”). Using qualitative and quantitative data analysis, it investigates the frequency, the contexts of usage, and the functions of the article as it occurs across historical and recent variations. In this analysis, there are two predominant factors that govern the use of the article: pragmatics and structure of the nominal phrase.
