Abstract:

This monograph investigates A’-dependencies in Standard German, Alemannic and
Dutch where the dislocated constituent is indirectly, i.e. not
transformationally, related to the position where it is interpreted.

The study focuses on relative clauses and shows that an important part of the
relativization system in these languages, long relativization, involves a
hitherto ignored construction termed resumptive prolepsis. This construction
is characterized by base-generation of the operator in the matrix middle-field
and a resumptive pronoun in the position of the variable. It is shown that it
involves short A’-movement in the matrix clause, empty operator movement in
the complement clause and an ellipsis operation that links the two operators.
While the link is directly visible in German and Dutch, Swiss German provides
a more abstract version of resumptive prolepsis.

Through a detailed examination of reconstruction effects and the properties of
resumption in these constructions, the book provides new evidence for the role
of ellipsis in A’-movement and for a base-generation analysis of resumption.
More generally, it makes an important contribution to the modeling of
long-distance dependencies and the study of A'-syntax.
