German verbs with prefix durch

The thesis deals with (in)separability of the prefix durch- and focuses especially on the form of the past participle in the function of an adjective. The first part consists of an expanded description of the verbs with durch- in the standard language according to codices and linguistic articles. The description includes possible factors, which could influence the separability or inseparability of the prefix. This part also illustrates differences in descriptions and stylistic characterictics of verbs with durch- in dictionaries and grammar books. The verbs durchbummeln, durchfeiern, durchtrinken, durchschlafen, durchtanzen, durchwachen and durchzechen, were chosen for corpus analysis. The analysis of corpusdata clarifies the importance of syntax and semantics for the inseparability or separability of the prefix durch- . The analysis also mentions texts, which contain two or more past participles with durch- in one attribute or these, which are remarkable from the point of regularities for the use of past participles in the role of an adjective
