Satzstruktur und Verbbewegung

Proceeding from the minimalist generative grammar program on the anti-symmetry theory of phrase structure this study sets out to demonstrate how the structure of an area of German sentence organization and various important syntactic phenomena within it (verb endposition, extraposition, scrambling) can be fully derived from a restricted number of non-language-specific principles and parameters relating to a finite set of language-specific syntactic features of lexical categories.
