Object shift in Scandinavian and scrambling in West Germanic have the same information-structural trigger - but differ in a number of respects. Most accounts of these phenomena thus assume that object shift and scrambling are different operations. The present paper tries to explore the ramification of a unified account in which language specific pecularities are related to different properties in the mapping between syntactic structure and prosodic structure.

Abstract

Object shift in Scandinavian and scrambling in West Germanic have the same information-structural trigger - but differ in a number of respects. Most accounts of these phenomena thus assume that object shift and scrambling are different operations. The present paper tries to explore the ramification of a unified account in which language specific pecularities are related to different properties in the mapping between syntactic structure and prosodic structure.
