A wealth of research has been conducted on the various linguistic
phenomena found in Germanic languages. But these studies were
restricted by their use of only one theoretical perspective to
analyze one particular language. Inspired by the need to expand the
research base of Germanic languages while broadening the empirical
coverage of constraint-based linguistic approaches, a handful of
researchers are employing various constraint-based theoretical
perspectives to study multiple Germanic languages.
This volume begins with an introduction to the recent research
performed on Germanic syntax using constraint-based frameworks. It
then goes on to investigate the linguistic phenomena found in the
grammar of the German and Danish languages. Using such approaches
as Lexical-Functional Grammar and Head-Driven Phrase Structure
Grammar, contributors shed a different light on theoretical issues
addressed by past studies, including semi-free word order, partial
front phenomena, and complex predicate formation. While alternative
approaches have assumed that meaning (semantics) is dependent on
form (syntax), various analyses presented in this volume explore
the idea that both form and meaning are equally constitutive for
grammatical descriptions.
