Abstract [eng] |
This dissertation analyzes the compounding of German nouns in the hand-written bilingual Baltic dictionaries. The research begins with the oldest manuscript of the German–Prussian Vocabulary of Elbing, dated with the 15th Century. The second research source is the Latvian–German Dictionary by J. Langius from the 17th Century. The third manuscript is the German–Lithuanian dictionary by J. Brodowski from the 18th Century. The research material comes from the above-mentioned Baltic dictionaries. The results are presented as follows: first the orthography of nominal compounds is discussed, after that the types of German nouns based on their left-hand members containing a linking element are described in detail. Finally, the paper analyses classification (group) of compounds according to the semantic and syntactic interpretation of their constituents: determinative, possessive, copulative and deverbal. Further, an internal structure of nouns is described. At the end of each research chapter there is an overview of the words with unique morphemes, konfixes and affixoids. |
