Reviews

This book addresses the syntactic problem of why the verb must move to Infl in some languages whereas it must stay in situ in others. Bernard Rohrbacher presents a solution to this problem after considering an impressive amount of data from a variety of Germanic languages (English, German, Mainland Scandinavian, Faroese, Icelandic, Yiddish) and even more interestingly, extends his predictions to Romance languages (Italian, French, European and Brazilian Portuguese). -- Javier Gutierrez-Rexach in Language 77:4
