Linear Syntax - Paperback - 2004

Makes a case for a critical reassessment of the view that syntax can be reduced to tree structures. Arguing that a crucial part of the description of German clausal syntax should be based on concepts that are defined in terms of linear order, this book connects the tools of modern phrase-structure grammar with traditional descriptive scholarship.
