Dissertation Abstract:

This dissertation studies a much-discussed syntactic construction of Modern
German generally known as "split topicalization" and called "topic
integration" here. After a comprehensive presentation of the empirical
domain and a discussion of alternative analyses in the literature, the
author develops a syntactic and semantic analysis, that also takes
'information-structural' meaning aspects into account. On the basis of this
analysis, he outlines the definition of the construction name in
the theory of language as well as the identification of the construction in
German grammars.
