- Title
Grammatische und semantische Kongruenz in der Geschichte des Deutschen: eine diachrone Studie zu den Kongruenzformen von ahd. wīb, nhd. weib.
- Abstract
The article presents information on the grammar and semantic congruences. It states that according to the semantic agreement the noun Weib which means woman is grammatically neuter but it refers to woman. It further informs that the diachronic study analyzed the fact in twelve texts which represent all German historical stages from 9th to twentieth century. The semantic agreement reached a peak lately in Germany and it is believed that its development is not linear but changes occur always with time.
