The volume assembles eleven articles presenting a linguistic approach to the grammar of German, English and the diachronic forerunners of English.

Some of the articles are critical of certain aspects of these theoretical approaches. For all their claims to descriptive universality, it transpires that they fail to address a number of features specific to German.
