 This volume presents a detailed analysis of West Germanic scrambling from the perspective of recent versions of the ‘Minimalist Program’, especially the one advanced in Chomsky’s (2001). It refutes the commonly held view that scrambled structures in West Germanic languages are the result of a phenomenon completely unrelated to North Germanic ‘Object Shift’. |

The authors bridge the gap between the semantic and syntactic properties of verb tense and aspect, and suggest a unified account of tense and aspect using Chomsky's Principles and Parameters Framework. They compare tense and aspect systems in Romance languages with Germanic ones. |
