“…Discourse-pragmatic reasons for placing constituents in the post-field are manifold, and arguments for differentiating various subfields and ways for filling them (movement, free adjunction) are controversial, as shown in previous research ( Zifonun et al, 1997 ; Frey, 2015 ; Vinckel-Roisin, 2015 ; Zifonun, 2015 ; Imo, 2016 , among others). It has been argued that (a) the post-field cannot be a single undifferentiated field 11 and (b) not all constituents that appear in this area seem to be extraposed from the middle-field but could also be more or less freely adjoined and base-generated ( Vinckel-Roisin, 2012 ; Frey, 2015 ).…”

“…Such occurrences show the existence of a variational spectrum that holds especially for spoken productions of German (cf. Zifonun et al, 1997 ; Imo, 2015 ; Zifonun, 2015 ). A greater variational spectrum in spoken or conceptually spoken 10 productions compared to written or conceptually written productions has been shown for other syntactic phenomena as well, suggesting that some linearization patterns might occur exclusively or more frequently in the spoken mode ( Andersen, 2008 , p. 2).…”

“…Despite the variational spectrum documented especially in spoken German, a crucial restriction, as already mentioned, is that contemporary German, does not allow the placement of direct objects in the post-field 14 ( Zifonun, 2015 , p. 30), as in example (6).…”

“…In the topological model, constituents appear in different “fields” from which they can be moved either to the forefield, via topicalization, scrambled in the middle-field or extraposed into the post-field 1 ( Drach, 1963 ; Zifonun et al, 1997 ; Wöllstein, 2014 ; Zifonun, 2015 ). While the forefield and the left clausal edge have received considerable attention ( Müller, 2003 ; Freywald et al, 2015 ; Wiese and Müller, 2018 ; Bunk, 2020 ; Rocker, 2022 ; Wiese et al, 2022 , among others), less attention has been given to the post-field and the right clausal edge.…”

“…Previous research has shown that prepositional phrases (PPs) are particularly frequent in the post-field ( Haider, 2010 , p. 191; Zifonun, 2015 ; Imo, 2016 ). In German, PPs can occur before the verb, in the middle-field (example 2a), or after the verb, in the post-field 5 (example 2b).…”

This study focuses on the linearization of constituents at the right sentence periphery in German, specifically on non-clausal light-weight constituents (LWCs) in the post-field. Spoken and written productions of German heritage speakers (HSs) with English as their majority language (ML) and of monolingually-raised speakers (MSs) of German are analyzed in different registers. The right sentence periphery is an area comprising a lot of variation and it is therefore intriguing to see how the two speaker groups deal with the options available if faced with the same communicative tasks. The overall goal is to answer the question whether the production of post-field LWCs in German HSs and MSs can provide us with evidence for ongoing internal language change and for the role of language contact with English. The analyses show a similar variational spectrum of LWC types and frequencies across speaker groups but a different distributional variation. The results show effects of register-levelling in the HS group, as they do not differentiate between the formal and informal setting unlike the MS group. Therefore, rather than transfer from the ML, the source of differing distributional variation of LWCs lies in the diverging adherence to register norms due to different exposure conditions across speaker groups.

Frontiers is more than just an open access publisher of scholarly articles: it is a pioneering approach to the world of academia, radically improving the way scholarly research is managed. The grand vision of Frontiers is a world where all people have an equal opportunity to seek, share and generate knowledge. Frontiers provides immediate and permanent online open access to all its publications, but this alone is not enough to realize our grand goals. Frontiers journal seriesThe Frontiers journal series is a multi-tier and interdisciplinary set of openaccess, online journals, promising a paradigm shift from the current review, selection and dissemination processes in academic publishing. All Frontiers journals are driven by researchers for researchers; therefore, they constitute a service to the scholarly community. At the same time, the Frontiers journal series operates on a revolutionary invention, the tiered publishing system, initially addressing specific communities of scholars, and gradually climbing up to broader public understanding, thus serving the interests of the lay society, too. Dedication to qualityEach Frontiers article is a landmark of the highest quality, thanks to genuinely collaborative interactions between authors and review editors, who include some of the world's best academicians. Research must be certified by peers before entering a stream of knowledge that may eventually reach the public -and shape society; therefore, Frontiers only applies the most rigorous and unbiased reviews. Frontiers revolutionizes research publishing by freely delivering the most outstanding research, evaluated with no bias from both the academic and social point of view. By applying the most advanced information technologies, Frontiers is catapulting scholarly publishing into a new generation. What are Frontiers Research Topics?Frontiers Research Topics are very popular trademarks of the Frontiers journals series: they are collections of at least ten articles, all centered on a particular subject. With their unique mix of varied contributions from Original Research to Review Articles, Frontiers Research Topics unify the most influential researchers, the latest key findings and historical advances in a hot research area.
