Abstract:

This volume presents the first comprehensive generative account of the
historical syntax of German. Leading scholars in the field survey a range of
topics and offer new insights into central aspects of clause structure and
word order, outlining the different stages of their historical development.
Each chapter combines a solid empirical basis with descriptive
generalizations, supported by a detailed discussion of theoretical analyses
couched in the generative framework. Reference is also made throughout to the
more traditional descriptive model of the German clause. 

The volume is divided into three parts that correspond to the main parts of
the clause. Part I explores the left periphery, looking at verb placement
(verb second and competing orders), the prefield, and adverbial connectives,
while Part II discusses the middle field, including pronominal syntax, the
order of full NPs, and the history of negation. The final part examines the
right periphery with chapters covering basic word order (OV/VO), prosodic and
information-structural factors, and the verbal complex. The book will be a
valuable resource for researchers and students in historical syntax and the
Germanic languages, and for both descriptive and theoretical linguists alike.
