This study presents a theory of the role which subject-verb agreement and case morphology plays in syntax, based mainly on a detailed comparison of the syntactic and inflectional properties of the Scandinavian languages.

Mandatory phrasal prominence on a constituent in English is often attributed to the presence of a focus interpretation for that constituent, be it focus as discourse new or as selection among discourse relevant alternatives. It is argued here that these two functions of focus should be empirically distinguished and use of the notion "focus" restricted to the latter function alone. Phrasal prosodic prominence in discourse new constituents is attributed to default prosody, namely the focus-insensitive mapping between syntactic and prosodic structures. Evidence is garnered to support the notion

Das Buch umfaßt elf Beiträge zur linguistischen Grammatik des Deutschen, des Englischen und der diachronischen Vorstufen des Englischen. Theoriehintergrund ist der Minimalismus von Chomsky (1993) sowie Weiterentwicklungen (Kayne 1993, Chomsky 1995), die allesamt sprachtypologische Vergleiche interessant machen. Ein Teil der Arbeiten ist kritisch gegenüber Teilen der Theorieansätze, die bei Universalanspruch der Beschreibung die besondere Faktenlage des Deutschen nicht berücksichtigen und ihr nicht gerecht werden können. The volume assembles eleven articles presenting a linguistic approach to the grammar of German, English and the diachronic forerunners of English. Common to all is a theoretical discussion against the background of Chomskyan minimalism (1993) and more recent developments of it (Kayne 1993, Chomsky 1995), all of which make language typology comparisons an interesting proposition. Some of the articles are critical of certain aspects of these theoretical approaches. For all their claims to descriptive universality, it transpires that they fail to address a number of features specific to German.
