Die Entstehung des deutschen werden +Infinitiv-Futurs – ein alternatives Szenario
In this paper, an alternative scenario of the development of German werden future is suggested based on a reanalysis of originally predicative past participles in werden -copula constructions as infinitives. The morpho-phonological and argument-structural preconditions for this reanalysis restrict the types of verbs expected in the relevant bridging contexts to certain strong and unaccusative verbs, which is supported by the results of a comprehe…

Clause Structure and Word Order in the History of German
Over roughly the last decade, there has been a notable rise in new research on historical German syntax in a generative perspective. This volume presents a state-of-the-art survey of this thriving new line of research by leading scholars in the field, combining it with new insights into the syntax of historical German. It is the first comprehensive and concise generative historical syntax of German covering numerous central aspects of clause stru…
Language Change at the Syntax-Semantics Interface
Bringing together diachronic research from a variety of perspectives, this volume \nfocuses on the interplay of syntactic and semantic factors in language change – \nan issue recently brought into the focus of formal linguistics by grammaticalization \ntheory as well as Minimalist diachronic syntax. \nThe contributions draw on data from numerous Indo-European languages \nincluding Vedic Sanskrit, Middle Indic, Greek as well as English and German,…

History of German Negation
This book represents the first comprehensive overview over the history of negation in German. It addresses both the development of the negation particles as well as the diachrony of indefinites in the scope of negation and the phenomenon of Negative Concord. Being based on a corpus study of several Old and Middle High German texts, it comprises a wealth of historical examples with additional comparison to Modern Standard German and dialects, as w…
Negation in Old High German
The aim of this paper is to give a syntactic analysis of sentential negation in the history of German with special emphasis on Old High German. This analysis attributes the main changes in the syntax of negation not to a change in syntactic structure but to changes in the lexical filling of the head and specifier of NegP. In addition, the more specific question of negative indefinites and negative concord (NC) in Old High German is discussed. It …
