Abstract:

This book presents the latest research on the syntax of the “Insular
Scandinavian” languages (Faroese and Icelandic), with contributions from
thirteen experts, and a significant introductory chapter by the four editors.
The topics covered include some that have figured extensively in recent
literature on Scandinavian syntax and its implications for syntactic theory:
case, agreement, embedded clause word order, stylistic fronting, and the
nature of “expletive” constructions. The volume is conceived around the topic
of variation, both within and between the two languages studied—as well as
more generally—and stands out for the wealth of new empirical detail from both
Faroese and Icelandic, relating to each of the topics and theoretical issues
discussed. Each chapter is written in a way to make it accessible to a wide
audience within linguistics; the book will be essential reading for students
and researchers with an interest in the syntax of the Germanic languages.
 



Linguistic Field(s): Syntax
