The novelty of our approach consists in three main points. First of all, we aim at describing functional variety in the field of word order and verb placement in the early Germanic languages not as a result of language contact, but rather as a language-internal phenomenon related to stylistic and grammatical conditions in information packaging. Second, given that information structure is not directly accessible in texts from historical corpora that are available only in written form and bear no or little information on prosody and intonation, it presents various methods of retrieving information-structural categories in such texts. Third, it presents empirical studies on the relation between word order and information structure of the four main texts of the Old High German period and embeds these results in the wider picture of word order change in Germanic. The volume will be of interest to students of German, English, and general linguistics as well as to researchers interested in diachronic syntax, philology of Older German, language change, information structure, discourse semantics, language typology, computational linguistics, and corpus studies. 410 0$aTrends in linguistics.$pStudies and monographs ;$v203. 606 $aGermanic languages$xWord order 606 $aGermanic languages$xSyntax 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aGermanic languages$xWord order. 615 0$aGermanic languages$xSyntax. 676 $a430/.045 686 $aGB 4851$2rvk 701 $aHinterho?lzl$b Roland$0898517 701 $aPetrova$b Svetlana$f1969-$0322524 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910455386003321 996 $aInformation structure and language change$92490254 997 $aUNINA
