Short Course II "Topics in Comparative Scandinavian and Germanic Syntax"

The course will both be about Scandinavian syntax and about what Germanic comparative syntax looks like from a Scandinavian point of view. It will include the following topics:

• Reflexives and override reflexives in Danish and English

• OV vs. VO order in Germanic (including particle variation, and unexpected German VO-infinitives with und)

• V-to-T-movement and verb second (including immobile verbs in German)

and, if time permits, also
