Scrambling, Remnant Movement, and Restructuring in West Germanic

ISBN: 9780195308204 出版年：2010 页码：265 Hinterholzl, Roland Oxford University Press

In this book, Hinterhölzl provides a comprehensive study of three salient phenomena of West Germaic, namely scrambling, remnant movement and restructuring, and discusses their interrelatedness. In particular, restructuring is shown to break down into remnant movement of the major phases of the infinitival clause, accounting for the formation of verb clusters and the transparency of restructuring infinitives.
