Abstract:

Many languages have constructions in which verbs cluster. But few
languages have verb clusters as rich and complex as Continental West
Germanic and Hungarian. Furthermore the precise ordering properties
and the variation in the cluster patterns are remarkably similar in
Hungarian and Germanic. This similarity is, of course, unexpected
since Hungarian is not an Indo-European language like the Germanic
language group. Instead it appears that the clustering, inversion and
roll-up patterns found may constitute an areal feature. This book
presents the relevant language data in considerable detail, taking
into account also the variation observed, for example, among
dialects. But it also discusses the various analytical approaches that
can be brought to bear on this set of phenomena. In particular, there
are various hypotheses as to what is the underlying driving force
behind cluster formation: stress patterns, aspectual features, morpho-
syntactic constraints? And the analytical approaches are closely
linked to a number of questions that are at the core of current
syntactic theorizing: does head movement exist or should all apparent
verb displacement be reduced to remnant movement, are morphology and
syntax really just different sides of the same coin?
