Sommario/riassunto

This book takes up a variety of general syntactic topics, which either yield different solutions in German, in particular, or which lead to different conclusions for theory formation. One of the main topics is the fact that languages that allow for extensive scrambling between the two verbal poles, V-2 and V-last, need to integrate discourse functions



like thema and rhema into the grammatical description. This is attempted, in terms of Minimalism, thus extending the functional domain.
