Synopsis
In recent years, numerous important innovations in generative grammar have originated within the field of Germanic syntax. The 13 comparative studies in this volume aim to demonstrate how much the field has grown both in quantity and quality within the last decade. The topics investigated include the phrase structure of clauses and nominal phrases, morphological and abstract case, binding, and different types of movement (verb movement, scrambling, object shift, extraposition, and topicalization). The studies often cut across the division between Germanic SVO languages and Germanic SOV languages, thus opening new perspectives on the field, and non-Germanic languages such as Bengali and Italian are also included in the discussion.
