Gramática pedagógica del alemán para alumnos 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 ¡earner 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.
