Question about German grammar (final thesis)?
I am currently writing a thesis in math and am using the following sentence: Then the set of growth rates of all non-elementary finitely generated subgroups of L is well-ordered with respect to all their finite generating systems. After "aller" and "bezüglich," I'm unsure about the cases; it sounds strange to me. Can you tell…

Term paper: Chatgpt yes no?
Well, I'm currently writing my thesis and wanted to use Chatgpt to improve my own text so that it sounds more polished and sophisticated. Would that be considered plagiarism? Would it also be plagiarism if I copy and paste a text and summarize it from Chatgpt? I could change the summarized text again so it…
Hello dogmatist
It’s all right, but not everything.
Am and the have not been
“At the beginning of next year”
Beginning (which beginning? – the, of the year) it is already defined by the sentence – so you can drop the article and the preposition: falls “on the” (am).
Beginning of the year
From the (vom) Dativ; of (vom) Genitiv
Then we are with:
Beginning of the year
Whose year? Next!
So also the year is defined and therefore does not need an article.
Beginning next year 🙂

I think everything is right.
Spaniards, why do you think that
At the beginning of next year
was wrong?
It is the short form for At the beginning of next year. Well, it’s not nice and “cross” too, because there’s no article about logic and language.
But the grammar? I think it’s right.
For what reason should this formulation be “cross”? At least it contains an article at the beginning of the sentence, while most speak or write largely without articles. Since in my head so many possibilities of formulation are circulating, it is difficult to tell me which is now the most appropriate.
This is more a feeling than mathematical logic. It’s too many concretizations. We use an article when it becomes concrete. So not “a” child, but “the” child. So a certain one.
If you say “next” year, it’s clear that it’s 2025. At first, what it means is also scheduled. Now before “beginning” also put an article to “dedicate” it is too many “Lärm”.
“At the beginning of next year” seems to me sufficiently precise. Therefore, I felt a further reinforcement as transverse. It’s a matter of taste.
“At the beginning of next year” is wrong, the rest is right.
Why?
Because the Duden says so.
Finally, this is not about mere nominalphrases as in I am school, right? 🤣
Where?
I’m sorry, but I’m not going into such questions. “I am school” <- what is wrong? If you find out, you already have your answer.
Applause!
