Introduction The topicalization of partial verbal projections in German (henceforth: pvp topicalization)
متن کاملFrom Partial VP Fronting towards Spinal TT-MCTAG
In the face of partial fronting phenomena in German, we introduce spinal TT-MCTAG, a new MCTAG variant that integrates features of LTAG-spinal and TT-MCTAG. Using spinal TT-MCTAG we arrive at flat syntactic structures which make available a consistent account for the data.
متن کاملIncomplete Category Fronting in German without Remnant Movement
Incomplete category fronting in German has been argued to involve movement of a constituent containing a trace (Thiersch 1985; Webelhuth and den Besten 1987; G. Müller 1996). In this paper, we show that the two kinds of examples used as key evidence for such remnant movement, partial-VP and “partial-NP” topicalization, do not motivate an unbounded dependency theory complex enough to license fro...
متن کاملYet Another Paper about Partial Verb Phrase Fronting in German
During the last years, several different analyses for partial verb phrase fronting have been proposed (Pollard, 1996; Nerbonne, 1994; Baker, 1994; Hinrichs and Nakazawa, 1994). The most promising account so far has been the one of Hinrichs and Nakazawa. This account, however, suffers from some drawbacks that will be discussed in section 4. I will present a rather simple account that uses the st...
متن کاملWord Order in German: A Formal Dependency Grammar Using a Topological Hierarchy
This paper proposes a description of German word order including phenomena considered as complex, such as scrambling, (partial) VP fronting and verbal pied piping. Our description relates a syntactic dependency structure directly to a topological hierarchy without resorting to movement or similar mechanisms.
