From 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 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.

متن کاملWord Order Constraints on German Verb Clusters
There is a broad concensus among researchers working within the paradigm of HPSG that argument-inheritance (Hinrichs and Nakazawa (1989; 1994)) is an essential operation in the analysis of so-called verb clusters in German. An argument-inheritance verb subcategorizes for an unsaturated verbal complement, and for all the complements on the COMPS-list of this verbal complement. In German, auxilia...
