Spelling in complex contexts – basic principles
How it works
Spelling in complex contexts includes rules for capitalization and lowercase, separate and combined spelling, punctuation, word division at line breaks, the spelling of loanwords, and the correct spelling of difficult or less common words. It requires that students can apply the applicable spelling rules confidently even in more complex sentence structures, loanwords, and compound terms. Typical pitfalls are, for example, distinguishing between adjectives and nouns, the spelling of verb compounds, or the correct use of hyphens.
In complex contexts, correct spelling must be ensured through precise application of the applicable rules for capitalization/lowercase, separate/combined spelling, punctuation, and the spelling of loanwords. Word class, meaning, and sentence context determine the correct spelling.
