Usage notes
edit
  • The distinction of the dative case, which had long been frail and without any basis in actual speech, widely fell out of use over the course of the 19th century. The genitive case, chiefly of the plural, was still productively used in written style in the latter half of the 20th century, especially in order to avoid reduplication of van. However, it has since continuously lost ground and is now reserved to poetic and highly literary language (apart from fixed expressions and surnames).
  • The current pronunciation is a spelling pronunciation. Before the word became archaic, it was pronounced with a schwa, /dər/. The original pronunciation with a schwa survives in dialects, e.g. Ripuarian (where the word may be spelled d'r).

edit

Etymology

edit

From Middle High German dër, from Old High German der, ther, replacing the original masculine and feminine nominative forms from Proto-Germanic *sa, by analogy with the adjective inflection. Compare also Old Dutch thie and Old English sē where the same process occurred.

Pronunciation

edit
  • IPA(key): /de(ː)r/, [deːɐ̯], [dɛɐ̯], [dɐ]
  • The most common pronunciation is [dɛɐ̯], which is possible in all contexts. The form [deːɐ̯] may be used when the word is stressed. The reduced form [dɐ] occurs chiefly after prepositions and conjunctions. In northern and central German vernaculars, the /d/ may then assimilate to any preceding consonant; so in der, auf der may become [ˈɪnɐ], [ˈaʊ̯fɐ].
