As one of the world's 7,000 languages, German shares "family similarities" with many other European languages, but also has some very unique traits.

Cross-language comparison can show where German structures diverge from and converge with those of other languages. The essays in the 2011 Yearbook of the Institute for German Language compare German with other languages on all grammatical levels, from photetics, phonology, graphematics, and morphology to syntax, semantics, pragmatics, and text grammar.

Description
The concept of frozenness has helped to shape recent lexicographic and phraseological research. The essays in this volume form a part of this current trend and examine discursive aspects of the problematics of frozenness and stability, including grammaticalization, lexicalization, and phraseology. Each essay explores phenomena of frozenness in discourse at the interface between pragmatics and morphology/syntax.
