English and German are close relatives, having developed from a common West-Germanic root. Modern English and German, however, reveal interesting structural differences, which are due the different historical development of the two languages. Some examples: In contrast to German, English has an etymologically mixed lexicon, a fact which has both morphological and stylistic consequences. While English has grammaticalized many important distinctions in the tense, mood and aspect system, German tends to deal with these things in a more lexical manner (e.g. by modal particles). German word order is fairly free and flexible, whereas English word order possibilities tend to be more heavily regulated. With regard to communicative behaviour, English and German speakers differ in how direct and explicit their utterances are. We will look at a number of specific examples of such differences, paying attention both to typological aspects of language comparison and to communicative and stylistic points.
