Aminimalist analysis of the implicational and-construction in German
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this article, I discuss the so-called implicational and-construction and show how it can be derived under Minimalist assumptions. e major challenge is to nd a way to account for the subordinate and the coordinate properties of this construction at the same time. e crucial idea behind the analysis is that the asymmetric syntax of coordination enables the transformation of a subordinate structure into a coordinate one by means of movement. e analysis, which pursues the same idea as the ones inWeisser (2014, to appear), shows that the samemechanism that is applied to a whole range of phenomena in dierent languages can also be applied to cases of asymmetric coordination in German.
