Sato Megumi. 2022. Sprachvariation und Sprachwandel im 18. und 19. Jahrhundert. Untersuchungen zur Kasusrektion der Präpositionen „wegen", „statt", „während" und „trotz" (Germanistische Bibliothek 77). Heidelberg: Winter Verlag. 382 S

- Abstract
The present monograph by Sato Megumi examines the historical development of the prepositions "wegen" (because of), "statt" (instead of), "während" (during), and "trotz" (despite) in the 18th and 19th centuries. The study is based on a comprehensive analysis of texts from different sources and takes into account diatopic (regional), medial, stylistic, and sociolinguistic factors. The results show a tendency towards dative case government with the preposition "wegen", with dative case government occurring significantly more frequently in the Upper German-speaking area. However, the work is criticized for weaknesses in terms of theoretical foundations and the compilation and evaluation of the corpus. Overall, the work is considered diligent but with modest results.
