More about the book
The present volume is a collection of papers devoted to the syntax of the German dialects spoken in Switzerland. The selection of the topics covers the main areas of current syntactic theorizing, namely verb placement, the structure of the nominal phrase, the pronominal system and pro drop phenomena, subordination and the complementizer system, and infinitive placement. Alongside the detailed description of the syntactic particularities of the dialectal syntax and their highly-articulated structure, the papers in this volume provide theoretical accounts for the studied phenomena, all of which are couched within the framework of the current theory of Generative Grammar.
