grammatikalischübersetzendem

Grammatikalisch is a German adjective meaning relating to grammar or grammatical. It is used in linguistics and everyday language to describe features, rules, or judgments that concern the structure of a language rather than its meaning, pronunciation, or use in context. The term derives from Grammatik, the German word for grammar, which itself comes from Greek grammatikē technē. The suffix -isch forms adjectives meaning “pertaining to” or “characteristic of.”

In practice, grammatikalisch appears in phrases such as grammatikalisch korrekt (grammatically correct) and grammatikalische Regeln (grammatical rules). It is often used alongside grammatisch, with a nuanced distinction: grammatisch tends to be a neutral descriptor of language according to its rules, while grammatikalisch can emphasize the system of grammar or a property tied to grammar as a field of study. Scholarly writing sometimes discusses grammaticality—the well-formedness of utterances—in terms of Grammatikalität or Grammatikalität, though authors differ in preferred terminology.

Usage notes include that grammatikalisch conveys a focus on the grammar system and its rules, whereas grammatisch may be preferred for ordinary, non-normative descriptions. The exact meaning can vary with context and theoretical framework; in normative descriptions of language, grammatikalisch is common when highlighting the link to a language’s grammar, while in descriptive or formal analyses, terminology may align with specific syntactic theories.
