Synopsis
This volume makes a case for a critical reassessment of the wide-spread view that syntax can be reduced to tree structures, arguing for concepts that are defined in terms of linear order. By connecting the descriptive tools of modern phrase-structure grammar with traditional descriptive scholarship, Andreas Kathol offers a new perspective on many long-standing problems in syntactic theory.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. While much of contemporary syntax equates grammatical structure with hierarchical organization, i.e. tree structures, this book argues for a critical reassessment of that premise. It argues that a crucial part of the description of German clausal syntax should be based on linear, rather than hierarchical concepts. This is done here by adopting 'topological fields'DSa concept from traditional descriptive theory. Such fields are defined as syntactic position classes,that is, clusterings of continuous syntactic material, and are defined orthogonally to constituency. This idea is implemented in an extension of Head-Driven Phrase Structure Grammar that employs aseparate level of flat linear organization called 'order domain'. Makes a case for a critical reassessment of the view that syntax can be reduced to tree structures. Arguing that a crucial part of the description of German clausal syntax should be based on concepts that are defined in terms of linear order, this book connects the tools of modern phrase-structure grammar with traditional descriptive scholarship.
