It promotes a new approach to the OV vs. VO classification, according to which all clauses have a universal base where the internal argument is always merged in SpecVP. Word order differences and their correlates result from an interaction of checking conditions, the EPP and different types of verb movement, and from parametric variation concerning the location of the subject of predication in the I- or in the C-system. 410 0$aLinguistik aktuell ;$vBd. 88. 606 $aGermanic languages$xClauses 606 $aGermanic languages$xGrammar, Comparative 606 $aGermanic languages$xWord order 615 0$aGermanic languages$xClauses. 615 0$aGermanic languages$xGrammar, Comparative. 615 0$aGermanic languages$xWord order. 676 $a430/.045 700 $aMohr$b Sabine$f1970-$01679804 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910828822903321 996 $aClausal architecture and subject positions$94048308 997 $aUNINA
