This book is the study of two different kinds of variation across the Germanic languages. One involves the position of the finite verb, and the other the possible positions of the "logical" subject in constructions with expletive (or "dummy") subjects. The book applies the theory of principles and parameters (also known as the "government-binding theory") to the study of comparative syntax. Several languages are considered, including less frequently discussed ones like Danish, Faroese, Icelandic, and Yiddish.

Tillhör följande kategorier

the best currently available survey of verb movement and expletive subjects in the Germanic languges ... nobody working in Germanic syntax can afford to overlook the wealth of data and insightful analyses presented in Vikner's book, which sets new standards for the field of theoretically oriented comparative syntax. This book will undoubtedly spawn much fruitful research, and I can only hope that it finds the widest possible distribution.
