Anotace: This article focuses on the status of Austrian German, particularly on Austrian expressions

in the globalizing world of the European Union. The Austrian German is a variety of the spoken
and written German standard language in Austria. It differs from the German variety used
in the middle and northern parts of Germany in phonetics, morphology, syntax and especially
in words and their meaning. Neither the amount of about 4 000 special expressions nor
the accent allows a classification as a language of its own. The first edition of the dictionary
Variantenwörterbuch des Deutschen contains approximately 12 000 words and items of standard
dard German with nationally or regionally limited distribution, or differences in usage, including
their general standard German equivalents. It is the first dictionary of any language which contains
the complete inventory of all the nationally or regionally limited standard-language items.
In this overview, I attempted to define dependency between words in lexical (semantic) as well
as syntactic terms. Finally, an analysis of a couple of typical serial verb constructions was given
in terms of dependency and an iconic word order principle.
