Abstract:

Editor’s Note: This is a new edition of a previously announced title.

What do you know, if you know that a language has 'Object Verb' structure
rather than 'Verb Object'? Answering this question and many others, this book
provides an essential guide to the syntactic structure of German. It examines
the systematic differences between German and English, which follow from this
basic difference in sentence structure, and presents the main results of
syntactic research on German. Topics covered include the strict word order in
VO vs word order variation in OV, verb clustering, clause union effects,
obligatory functional subject position, and subject-object asymmetries for
extractions. Through this, a cross-model and cross-linguistic comparison
evolves, highlighting the immediate implications for non-Germanic OV
languages, and creating a detailed and comprehensive description of the
syntactic differences that immediately follow from an OV type in contrast with
a VO type like English. It will be of interest to all those interested in
syntax and Germanic languages.
