Duden is the most respected
publisher of works relating to the German language and many German
teachers use this particular book as their personal grammar. This
book is written in accessible language, but in German only. Consequently,
you will make the most of it only if you are at an advanced level
or feel very confident of your grasp of the language. If that is
the case, you can use the best grammatical resource available!
This is the essential reference for all your questions about grammar,
especially those elusive points that other texts do not cover or do
not explain thoroughly. Die Grammatik is based on spoken as well as
written contemporary Hochsprache (standard German) and includes the
language variations of the different German-speaking countries. The
two main chapters are 'Das Wort' (word) and 'Der Satz' (sentence) with
numerous sections about the sound, spelling, classes of German words,
etc. At the back, you will also find a useful glossary of grammatical
terms. |
