Using this document

This document has two intended uses:

• as a textual description of a linguistic specification of German morphosyntax;

The document has chapters for each of the EAGLES main categories: nouns, verbs, adverbs, determiners, pronouns, articles, adpositions, conjunctions, numerals, interjections, unique-member class, residuals. All chapters have the same internal structure, with components (i.e. sections and subsections) aimed more at one or the other type of usage (declarative description vs. guidelines).
