In this volume, the author both examines the various VP-word order patterns from a descriptive and statistical point of view and provides a synchronic and diachronic analysis of VP-syntax in Old(er) Icelandic in terms of generative grammar. Her account makes use of a number of independently motivated ideas, notably remnant-movement of various kinds of predicative phrase, and the long movement associated with "restructuring" phenomena, to provide an analysis of OV orders and, correspondingly, a proposal as to which aspect of Icelandic syntax must have changed when VO word order became the norm: the essential change is loss of VP-extraction from VP. Although this idea is mainly supported here for Icelandic, it has numerous implications for the synchronic and diachronic analysis of other Germanic languages. 410 0$aLinguistik aktuell ;$vBd. 35. 606 $aIcelandic language$xWord order 606 $aOld Norse language$xWord order 615 0$aIcelandic language$xWord order. 615 0$aOld Norse language$xWord order. 676 $a439/.695 700 $aorbjorg Hroarsdottir$01596459 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910827226603321 996 $aWord order change in Icelandic$93917828 997 $aUNINA
