Abstract:

Dialect syntax has proven to be an invaluable data source for theoretical
syntax, and theoretical syntax has provided useful analytical tools for
uncovering fascinating grammatical properties of dialects. In the 1980s, the
assumption that there must be more than one structural position in the left
periphery of the clause was confirmed (among others) by so-called "doubly
filled COMPs" in Bavarian (e.g. the co-occurrence of a wh-phrase and a
complementizer), and in the 1990s, Northern Italian dialects provided the main
empirical evidence for Rizzi’s extended theory of the left clausal periphery
(the so-called "Split-C-hypothesis"). Among German dialects, Bavarian played a
prominent role from the beginning: in addition to doubly-filled COMPs we find
phenomena such as complementizer agreement, partial pro-drop, pronominal
clitics, extractions from finite clauses introduced by complementizers,
negative concord, parasitic gaps, or double possessors, all of which are
fascinating and highly relevant for theoretical syntax. The contributions in
this volume investigate and analyze a wide range of topics from Bavarian
syntax with the focus on implications for general theoretical questions. This
volume is of interest for any linguist interested in syntactic theory and
dialect syntax.
