Template:U:de:unadapted/documentation

This template generates a usage note to inform the reader about the prescriptively correct spelling of multi-word German unadapted borrowings from English.

The template generates both the prescriptively correct as well as the proscribed spellings but only links to the latter if they already exist as entries.

Types

nn

nn is short for noun-noun. Example:

In Shoppingcenter: {{U:de:unadapted|nn|Shopping-Center}}

In Shopping-Center: {{U:de:unadapted|nn}}

Both yield:

• The Duden prescribes that unadapted borrowings from English consisting of two nouns be written solid (Shoppingcenter) or, if it improves legibility, hyphenated (Shopping-Center). The spaced spelling (Shopping Center) is proscribed.

'an

'an is short for adjective-noun (with a stress mark on the adjective). Example:

In Blackbox: {{U:de:unadapted|'an|Black Box}}

In Black Box: {{U:de:unadapted|'an}}

Both yield:

• The Duden prescribes that unadapted borrowings from English consisting of an adjective (that carries the stress) and a noun be written solid (Blackbox) or, alternatively, spaced (Black Box). The hyphenated spelling (Black-Box) is proscribed.

a'n

a'n is short for adjective-noun (with a stress mark on the noun). Example:

In Top Ten: {{U:de:unadapted|a'n}}

Which yields:

• The Duden prescribes that unadapted borrowings from English consisting of an adjective and a noun (that carries the stress) be written spaced (Top Ten). The hyphenated (Top-Ten) and solid (Topten) spellings are proscribed.

vp

vp is short for verb-particle. The particle must be written in lower case. Example:

In Blackout: {{U:de:unadapted|vp|Black-out}}

In Black-out: {{U:de:unadapted|vp}}

Both yield:

• The Duden prescribes that unadapted borrowings from English consisting of a verb and a particle be written solid (Blackout) or, alternatively, hyphenated (Black-out). The spaced spelling (Black out) is proscribed.
