Synopsis

This book is a detailed exploration of the use of the dative case in Old High German, focusing specifically on philosophical works by the influential 9th-century scholar Notker Labeo. The book meticulously examines Notker's deviations from Latin syntax and provides a comprehensive analysis of the nuances of dative case usage. It categorizes the various syntactic functions of the dative, including its use to denote possession, direction, and purpose, as well as its role in expressing abstract concepts. Through a thorough examination of Notker's writings, the author sheds light on the evolution of the dative case in Old High German and its significance for understanding the development of the German language as a whole.
