  • Early German = Slavic

    Open AccessEric FußARTICLETheoretical Linguistics2022

    In their target paper, Haider and Szucsich (henceforth H & S) argue that the Slavic languages are not to be classified as SVO languages.Rather, Slavic is taken to represent a third word order type in addition to OV and VO (labeled "T3" by H & S), in which the directionality parameter linked to V (or N) is not fixed; that is, it does not assume a head-initial or head-final setting.According to H & S, this kind of parametric underspecification not …

  • Freie Relativsätze mit d-Pronomen

    Open AccessEric Fuß, Günther GrewendorfARTICLEZeitschrift für Sprachwissenschaft2014

    In the present-day Germanic languages, free relatives (FRs) share formal properties with indirect question in that both constructions are introduced by w-pronouns. However, at least in German (and historical stages of a larger set of languages, including English), there is an additional pattern which involves the use of d-pronouns such as German der/die/das 'that.masc./fem./ neut.', which typically introduce headed relative clauses. Focusing on p…

  • Repairs

    Patrick Brandt, Eric FußEDITORBOOKRepairs2013

    Grammatical structures connect systems of thought and articulation, the conditions of which hardly seem to fit each other. Repairs are productive mechanisms that solve translation problems between modules or levels by adapting derivations or representations to requirements that have to be met unconditionally. Compensating for derivational and interpretive defects, repairs determine core properties of natural language grammars and their interfaces…

  • Eigennamen und adnominaler Genitiv im Deutschen

    Eric FußARTICLELinguistische Berichte (LB)2011

    This paper deals with morphosyntactic differences between proper names and common nouns in German, focusing on the realization of case and the syntax of adnominal genitives. Reviewing the historical development of the relevant contrasts, it is argued that the deviating behavior of proper names should not be taken to reflect a difference in syntactic category (D vs. N). Instead, it is proposed that the synchronic differences between proper names a…

  • Diachronic Clues to Synchronic Grammar

    Eric Fuß, Carola TripsEDITORBOOKDiachronic Clues to Synchronic…2004

    This volume emphasizes a new line of thinking in generative grammar which acknowledges that certain synchronic properties of languages can only be fully understood if diachronic data is taken into consideration. The central topics addressed in this collection of papers are (1) a critical assessment of the hypothesis that certain apparently synchronic generalizations are actually the result of the mechanisms of language change, (2) an inquiry into…

  • On the historical core of V2 in Germanic

    Open AccessEric FußARTICLENordic Journal of Linguistics2003

    This paper focuses on the origin of the V2 property in the history of Germanic. Considering data from Gothic and Old English (OE), it is suggested that the historical core of the V2 phenomenon reduces to V-to-C movement that is triggered in operator contexts. Therefore, the historical system shares basic properties with limited V2 in Modern English. It is shown that apparent deviations from this pattern that can be observed in Gothic can be attri…
