<SHAMELESS SELF-PROMOTION>

LINEAR SYNTAX, Oxford University Press, 2000.

Andreas Kathol

BLURB: This volume makes a case for a critical reassessment of the
wide-spread view that syntax can be reduced to tree structures,
arguing for concepts that are defined in terms of linear order. By
connecting the descriptive tools of modern phrase-structure grammar
with traditional descriptive scholarship, Andreas Kathol offers a new
perspective on many long-standing problems in syntactic theory.

* Based on Head-Driven Phrase Structure Grammar

* Addresses wide variety of issues of German syntax, including
  complementizers, finite verbs, wh-phrases, and ordering within the
  'verbal cluster'

* Adopts constructional view of sentence types
