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.Linguistik aktuell ;Bd. 45.Issues in formal Germanic typologyIssues in formal German typologyGermanic languagesGrammarGermanic languagesGrammar.430/.045Abraham Werner158164Zwart C.
