Deutsche Syntax deklarativ. Head-Driven Phrase Structure Grammar für das Deutsche
Abstract
The book describes a large fragment of German in terms
of the HPSG paradime. On a broad empirical basis it develops
a formally explicit theory with special emphasis on various word-order phenomena: the relatively free
position of constituents in the Mittelfeld also considering coherent constructions,
positioning in the verbal complex, fronting, and extraposition. The analysis of these phenomena
is embedded in a general theory of sentence structure and a discussion of relevant formal
mechanisms.
