Constructions of the Type eine Tasse heiІer Kaffee and eine Art universelle Sprache in Their Relation to the Literary Norm of the German Language // Tomsk State Pedagogical University Bulletin. 2005. Issue 4 (48). P. 70-73

The article is devoted to the unsufficiently studied problem in German linguistics related to the choice of syntactic subordination in the quantitative word combinations with the second component expanded by an adjective (participle) Nquant+AdjN and eine Art +AdjN. The material analysed has shown that despite recommendations of classic grammar reference books to choose co-ordination as a type of subordination for the syntactic structure of these constructions, the genitive and prepositional subordination still exists and is the most widely used one. Moreover, the hypothesis that the syntactic organization of these constructions is determined by the grammatical characteristics of their components has been confirmed.
