Summary/Abstract: The paper describes German word formations according to their predicate-argument-structure. It focuses on the description of derivatives as well as compounds whose second part functionally corresponds to a suffix (of the Lehrer / Lehrkraft type) and presents the most typical structures. The description begins with simple derivatives and ends with incorporations. The most common incorporated actant is the accusative object. The model allows both to classify the word forma- tions in a more detailed way and allows the reader to get a better understanding of word structures.
