Die vorliegende Studie untersucht die syntaktische und semantische Struktur deklarativer und interrogativer Satztypen des Deutschen. Der erarbeitete Ansatz steht im Einklang mit den prototypischen Verwendungen der behandelten Satztypen und erfasst zugleich die (a)symmetrische Distribution von [±wh]-Phrasen in der linken Satzperipherie von Verbzweit- und Verbletztsätzen. Im Fokus steht dabei der Beitrag der Finitumvoranstellung und der Topikalisierung einer [-wh]-Phrase zur Determinierung der Satztypbedeutung. Die zentrale Hypothese lautet, dass die Bewegung des Finitums und die Topikalisierung einer [–wh]-Phrase jeweils durch ein linksperipheres Satztypmerkmal [F1] bzw. [F2] ausgelöst werden, deren Interpretation das Kontextveränderungspotenzial des Satzes kompositionell bestimmt. The study investigates the structure of declarative and interrogative sentence types in German that are consistent with their prototypical usage, yet at the same time, include the (a)symmetrical distribution of [±wh] phrases in the left sentence periphery of verb-second and verb-last sentences. The study focuses on the forward placement of the finitum and the topicalization of non-relative [-wh] phrases for the derivation of sentence-type meaning.

The Syntax of Dutch aims at presenting a synthesis of the currently available syntactic knowledge of Dutch. It is primarily concerned with language description and not with linguistic theory, and provides support to all researchers interested in matters relating to the syntax of Dutch, including advanced students of language and linguistics. Syntax of Dutch: Verbs and Verb Phrases consists of three volumes. Volume 1 opens with a general introduction to verbs, including a review of various verb classifications and discussions on inflection, tense, mood, modality and aspect. This is followed by a comprehensive discussion of complementation (argument structure and verb frame alternations). Volume 2 continues the discussion of complementation, but is more specifically focused on clausal complements: the reader will find detailed discussions of finite and infinitival argument clauses, complex verb constructions and verb clustering. Volume 3 concludes with a description of adverbial modification and the overall structure of clauses in relation to, e.g., word order (verb placement, wh-movement. extraposition phenomena, scrambling, etc.).

This monograph argues for a novel approach to split topicalization and quantifier float in German, based on the premise that syntactic structure-building proceeds solely via free application of Merge. Following recent developments in the pursuit of a more principled theory of syntax, it is argued that the stipulative notion of 'projection' ought to be dispensed with: syntactic objects created by Merge are not headed, and endocentricity arises due to a simple search algorithm. When this algorithm fails, specifically in symmetric {XP,YP} structures, an unlabeled constituent results; where a label is required, such structures are locally unstable. It is argued that both split topics and floated quantifiers are the result of this kind of local instability: when an exocentric predication structure is merged in argument or adjunct position, XP must be displaced at the phase level to allow for determination of a label. It is this symmetry-breaking movement that yields the 'split constituent' in surface form. Based on careful empirical scrutiny of two recalcitrant problems for syntactic theory, the present work adduces substantial support for a 'minimalist' grammatical architecture devoid of phrase-structural residue.
