"This is the best contrastive study of English and German, and indeed of any two languages, that I have ever seen. It describes the areas of contrast with sophistication and without technical jargon. It gives broad coverage, incorporates recent research, and includes many findings that König and his collaborators have themselves contributed to the field. It compares these two languages with other languages and with other members of the Germanic family. This book delivers what contrastive studies should deliver: a comparison of two languages that leads to a better understanding of each. It is also an extremely useful book at a practical level, for learners of each language and for students of translation. König & Gast are to be congratulated!"
