Cambridge syntax guides Includes bibliographical references (p. 354-367) and index A comparative survey: German V2 and partially ’OV’ -- The functional architecture of a German clause: facts and controversies -- Targeting the clause initial position: German wh-constructions -- Targeting left: clause internal word order and word order variation -- Targeting the right edge: extraposition -- Case: a nominative-accusative language with a four way case paradigm -- Non-finite verbs and their constructions "What do you know, if you know that a language has ’Object Verb’ structure rather than ’Verb Object’? Answering this question and many others, this book provides an essential guide to the syntactic structure of German. It examines the systematic differences between German and English, which follow from this basic difference in sentence structure, and presents the main results of syntactic research on German. Topics covered include the strict word order in VO vs word order variation in OV, verb clustering, clause union effects, obligatory functional subject position, and subject-object asymmetries for extractions. Through this, a cross-model and cross-linguistic comparison evolves, highlighting the immediate implications for non-Germanic OV languages, and creating a detailed and comprehensive description of the syntactic differences that immediately follow from an OV type in contrast with a VO type like English. It will be of interest to all those interested in syntax and Germanic languages"--Provided by publisher German language Syntax 0 0 0 0 20000 20000 2019-09-04 332.93 0 PF3361 .H35 2010 0000064723 2019-09-04 00:00:00 1 332.93 2019-09-04 OPEN VIRTUA40 58368 58374 VTLSSORT0080*0200*0400*0900*1000*2450*2600*3000*4900*5040*5050*5200*6500*9991
