Description

This scholarly monograph explores word order variation and change in older Germanic languages through a fresh theoretical lens. Rather than relying on traditional parameter-based explanations or competing grammar frameworks, the book presents an innovative approach grounded in information structure. It examines how marked and unmarked forms compete within a single grammatical system to drive linguistic change, offering new insights into one of diachronic syntax's most compelling and thoroughly researched topics. Designed for linguists, Germanic language scholars, and researchers in historical syntax, this volume contributes significantly to the Trends in Linguistics series and provides rigorous analysis of how information-structural principles shape language evolution across Germanic varieties.

Key Features

Addresses word order variation and change in older Germanic languages using novel information-structural frameworks.

De Gruyter Mouton's scholarly monograph volume 203 in the Trends in Linguistics Studies and Monographs series.

Explains linguistic change through competition between marked and unmarked forms within a single grammar system.

Provides an alternative to traditional parameter-based and competing grammar approaches in diachronic syntax research.

Essential reference for linguistics researchers, historical syntax specialists, and Germanic language scholars.
