Abstract:

This dissertation investigates the Upper German Perfekt in its diachronic and synchronic stages in a formal semantic framework. While the Middle High German Perfekt is best analysed with an extended-now semantics, the Swabian Perfekt is analysed as a true past tense. In addition to these analyses, the dissertation addresses ways of integrating tense semantics into grammar instruction in German schools.
