• Resumen

  • Various studies in the field of German-French contrastive linguistics report a higher number of valency-dependent constituents in French than in German (cf. Blumenthal 1997, 10). The present investigation compares the proportion of arguments vs. adjuncts in German, French and Spanish newspaper texts, showing that the three languages do not differ significantly in this respect. However, other contrasts do prove to be significant: in the German texts, we find more monovalent verbs, but a lower proportion of passive constructions than in the samples from the two Romance languages.
