Verb Movement and Expletive Subjects in the Germanic Languages Paperback / softback
by Sten (Assistant Professor, Department of German Linguistics, Assistant Professor, Department Vikner
Part of the Oxford Studies in Comparative Syntax series
Paperback / softback
Description
This book is the study of two different kinds of variation across the Germanic languages.
One involves the position of the finite verb, and the other the possible positions of the "logical" subject in constructions with expletive (or "dummy") subjects.
The book applies the theory of principles and parameters to the study of comparative syntax.
Several languages are considered, including less frequently discussed ones like Danish, Faroese, Icelandic, and Yiddish.
