The contributions provide new perspectives on several topics of current interest for syntactic theory on the basis of comparative data from a wide range of Germanic languages. Among the theoretical and empirical issues explored are various ellipsis phenomena, the internal structure of the DP, the syntax-morphology interface, the syntax-semantics interface, Binding Theory, various diachronic developmen 410 0$aLinguistik aktuell ;$vBd. 191. 606 $aGermanic languages$xGrammar, Comparative 606 $aGermanic languages$xSyntax 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aGermanic languages$xGrammar, Comparative. 615 0$aGermanic languages$xSyntax. 676 $a430/.045 701 $aAckema$b Peter$f1965-$0906308 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910462357703321 996 $aComparative Germanic syntax$92026906 997 $aUNINA
