Reviews

While taking the full range of semantic, pragmatic and prosodic properties of West-Germanic scrambling phenomena into account, Michael Putnam presents a compelling argument in support of a narrow syntactic treatment of middle field word order variation, advancing the minimalist program in a surprising and conceptually appealing way. -- C.Jan-Wouter Zwart, University of Groningen
