Zusammenfassung
This paper is concerned with the distinction between pre- and
postpositioned (initial and final) wenn-clauses in German, and
with the distinction between written and spoken language. A
simple cross-tabulation of the two features [spoken/written]
and [pre-/ postpositioned] (section 3) shows that initial
wenn-clauses are preferred in spoken German, but final
wenn-clauses are preferred in written German. These findings
are in need of an explanation, which will be given in sections 4
and 5. Section 2 sketches the main characteristics of German
wenn-clauses as compared to English conditional (if-) clauses.
The findings and discussions in this paper are corpus-based.
They are partly quantitative, partly qualitative. With respect
to both dimensions, the claim is that a full understanding of
the syntax of (particularly) spoken language eludes the
possibilities of a purely introspective methodology. Of course,
no (quantitative or qualitative) corpus-based investigation can
do without a strong reliance on the analyst's knowledge
( intuition') about the language being researched; in fact,
finding valid generalizations always involves
Gedankenexperimente playing with structural changes in and
recontextualizations of the examples'
