A wide variety of fundamental and well-known phenomena in German grammar are addressed, including the German passive and impersonal passive, various Mittelfeld and Vorfeld word-order phenomena (including auxiliary stacking and the distribution of adjuncts), and the structure of phrasal constituents. Linguistic issues include the treatment of idioms, word-order variation and phrase structure constituency, subcategorization, complementation, argument structure, case assignment, lexical rules, and syntactic ambiguity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe theoretical background for these essays can be found in \u003ci\u003eInformation-Based Syntax and Semantics\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eHead-Driven Phrase Structure Grammar,\u003c\/i\u003e both by Pollard and Sag and both available from the University of Chicago Press.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Center for the Study of Language and Inf","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47019242356976,"sku":"9781881526308","price":60.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781881526308","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
