Course content
This lecture aims to present the system of German punctuation from historical and theoretical perspectives. The first part will address key phases in the development of punctuation within European linguistic culture, focusing in particular on the question of why and how German punctuation theory in particular came to be conceived so explicitly in grammatical and syntactic terms. The second part will outline recent attempts to analyze the German punctuation system in a unified manner. Specifically, the following topics are planned: 1) Punctuation as a linguistic phenomenon 2) Punctuation in a cultural-historical context 3) The early history of punctuation (Antiquity, Middle Ages) 4) Further developments in the Early Modern Period 5) The development of punctuation in German: From rhetoric to syntax 6) The current official system of rules 7) Proposals for systematization and simplification 8) Punctuation and linguistic theory
