Abstract
This article gives a brief overview of important characteristics of word-formation in German and then describes the central models of compounding, derivation and conversion according to their morphosyntactic and semantic properties, specifically differentiated for the word classes noun, adjective, verb and adverb. Since the remaining kinds of word-formation only play a secondary role in vocabulary growth, they will be given a less detailed treatment.
