Achtes Hauptst ůck.

Vom Vorworte.

1. Gebrauch des Vorwortes.

§. 333. Ueber den Zweck und Gebrauch der Vorworter siehe das achte Hauptstück der Etymologie, und in Betreff derjenigen Vorwörter, welche nach gewissen Beiwörtern folgen, so wie über dies jenigen, welche die Zeitwörter entweder mit oder ohne Hauptwort bei sich haben, in welchem lehteren Falle die Präpositionen zu Bestim= mungswörtern der Zeitwörter werden, ziehe das Verzeichniß S. 287 bis 308 zu Rathe. Die vorzüglichste, ja die einzige Schwierigkeit beim Gebrauche der Vorwörter ist die richtige Wahl derselben, besonders da die Bedeutung derselben häufig ineinander grenzt; man muß das bei auf das Grundverhältniß sehen, welches in einem gegebenen Falle durch ein Vorwort bezeichnet werden soll, und welches im achten Hauptstücke der Etymologie bei jedem einzelnen Vorworte angegeben ist. Gute Wörterbücher, z. B. Flügel, Hilpert unter den Deutschen, Johnson, Webster unter den Engländern (und respective Nordame rikanern), werden dem Lernenden im Zweifel gute Dienste leisten; die Hauptsache aber bleibt eine emsige Lecture der englischen Classiker, damit Ohr und Geist sich an die richtige Wahl der Vorwörter ge=

wöhnen und sich bei Anwendung eines falschen sogleich verleht fühlen, wie sich der Deutsche verleht fühlen würde, wenn er z. B. hört: Ich bestand in meiner Forderung, oder ich drang an ihn," statt: auf meiner Forderung," und in ihn."

Nach Hauptwörtern folgt, um dessen Verhältniß zu einem gn= deren Hauptworte zu bezeichnen, gewöhnlich diejenige Präposition, welche auf das Zeitwort, von welchem das regierende Hauptwort abstammt, håtte folgen müssen; z. B. There is a run upon the bank (weil to run upon one or a thing, auf einen oder etwas zu= laufen oder einstürmen heißt). It was perfectly in compliance with some persons, for whose opinion I have great deference (denn man sagt to comply with). A disposition to tyranny (denn man sagt to be disposed to).

Anmerk. Diese Regel hat aber zahlreiche Ausnahmen, die nur aus der Uebung erlernt werden können, wobei nicht übersehen werden darf, daß ein und dasselbe Zeitwort mit vielerlei Pråpositionen construirt werden kann. Insbesondere wird, wenn das Hauptwort von einem transitiven Zeitworte abstammt, das Verhältniß zu einem anderen Hauptworte meistentheils durch of ausgedrückt; z. B. Sickness in the reverse of health (von dem transitiven Beitworte to reverse, um= kehren).
