Textsorten aus kontrastiver Sicht: Ein Begleitartikel zum Projekt Deutsch-ungarische kontrastive Grammatik” (dukg)

The aim of the present paper is to provide insight into the German-Hungarian contrastive grammar project with special emphasis on its part concerning text linguistic problems. It will be shown which phenomena are dealt with here, i.e. how the relevant chapter of the planned contrastive grammar is structured. Furthermore, an attempt is made to shed light on the conception of Ulrich Engel (which the whole grammar is based on) as regards text types. A sample contrastive analysis of the text type newspaper article is also presented.
