Description

Mouton de Gruyter. 2009. — 394 pages. — (Trends in Linguistics). — ISBN: 3110205912The book addresses one of the most prominent and widely discussed topics in diachronic syntax, namely, word order variation and change in older Germanic. It presents a novel approach that explains these issues not in terms of parameters and parameter change or in terms of competition between two grammars, but in terms of competition between information-structurally marked and unmarked forms within one grammar.
