Didactique de l'Anglais - Grammaire, Style, Méthode de travail

The term paper deals with analysing and distinguishing phrasal and prepositional verbs within different textual contexts.

By starting with a short introduction regarding specific grammatical terminology, the necessary terms will be explained so that the reader will be able to follow the structure of dealing with the topic. The attributes of phrasal and prepositional verbs will then be examined and presented by mainly taking grammatical literature into account.

To prove the grammatical standards, an empirical part will present examples, which were taken out of a novel. These examples will be used to observe specific grammatical phenomena as well as difficulties in distinguishing or recognizing phrasal and prepositional verbs respectively
