This paper investigates the aspectual potential of posture verb pseudo-coordination in spoken German. In a corpus study of sitzen ‘sit’ and stehen ‘stand’, it is shown that despite a preference for activity verbs, verbs of all aspectual classes occur in the second conjunct. The posture verb imposes its durative meaning component on the second verb, thus making a progressive interpretation of the construction possible. Apart from this emergent aspectual function, German posture verb pseudo-coordination has a subjective function (conveying the speaker’s beliefs about the subject referent’s stance), and a discourse pragmatic function (information packaging).*

德语口语中的伪协调 Sitzen 和 Stehen：突现渐进方面的案例？

本文研究了德语口语中姿势动词伪协调的体势潜力。在语料库研究中西岑‘坐’和斯蒂恩'stand'，结果表明，尽管偏爱活动动词，但所有体类的动词都出现在第二个连词中。姿势动词将其持续意义成分强加在第二个动词上，从而使结构的渐进解释成为可能。除了这种新兴的体功能外，德语姿势动词伪协调还具有主观功能（传达说话者对主语所指立场的信念）和话语语用功能（信息包装）。
