Description

Wackernagel’s law explains the global similarity of natural languages. Wackernagel elements generally tend to be in second position but stay as close as possible to the beginning of a sentence. Wackernagel’s Law in German describes their particular features and serialization in the Wackernagel complex as reflecting an interplay between syntax, phonology, and information structure. The work is a contribution to typology and language change theory.
