Abstract
The article focuses on structural and semantic peculiarities of Old High German complex sentences. The latter are claimed to have been formed with the help of paratactic and hypotactic word-combinations. The main makers of subordination in Old High German were considered to be conjunctions, prepositions, and connective words.
