German Hypercorrection
dialect versus standard german
in german, accent spoken in cities of düsseldorf, cologne , surroundings heavily features front ch sound (aka ich sound , [ç]) standard german calls sch [ʃ] sound. speakers accent fich [fɪç] instead of fisch [fɪʃ] (fish), , tich [tɪç] instead of tisch [tɪʃ] (table). due hypercorrection of rhineland dialect prevalent in area of germany, accent replaces front ch [ç] sound sch [ʃ] sound ( ich [ʔɪç] => isch [ʔɪʃ]). attempting avoid error, speakers of ripuarian accent hypercorrect abundance of ch [ç].
genitive versus dative
another example use of genitive case dative case required. colloquially, genitive dropped in favor of dative if correct grammatical usage demands genitive. because language critics deride such substitution, german speakers use genitive prepositions demand dative (e.g., entgegen, gegenüber), seemingly under false impression genitive right , dative wrong, or @ least genitive better form dative.
