The paper discusses issues concerning the interface between syntax and morphology and provides important impliacitons for the nature of non-finite morphology and for the headedness of the vP in German.

Abstract

The paper discusses issues concerning the interface between syntax and morphology and provides important impliacitons for the nature of non-finite morphology and for the headedness of the vP in German. In particular, I argue that participles and to-infinitives in German involve phrasal affixes and discuss cases of displaced morphology in the verbal complex showing that selectional restrictions of V1 on V2 can be waived with the relevant affix being realized on V3, seemingly ignoring the selectional requirements of V2 on V3.
