“…However, DeHaan () argues, for West Frisian, that these are not instances of subordination, but rather a sort of parataxis. For interesting discussion with a similar conclusion for German see Freywald (, ). For Afrikaans see Biberauer ().…”

This paper highlights striking similarities of three well-known but hitherto disparately treated alternations in Germanic morphosyntax: (i) the positional alternation of the finite verb between a low and a left peripheral (V2) position; (ii) the morphological alternation in adnominal adjectives between socalled weak and strong agreement; and (iii) the contrast in definiteness marking between a free DP-initial definite article and a so-called suffixed article. The number and kinds of punctual similarities among these alternations suggest that we are dealing with a parallelism that is non-accidental (even if not always fully surface apparent).In an attempt to propose a principled account of this parallelism, I argue that the familiar syntactic CP/DP analogy must (A) be extended to include the extended adjectival projection (xAP), and (B) that it is more than an analogy. It is, I claim, a point-wise isomorphism. I identify a shared complementizer head C, which, I claim, extended projections of all colors converge on. In Germanic, C is either lexicalized/identified qua head, as d-, or it attracts the lexical category of its containing extended projection, indiscriminately of whether it is verbal, nominal, or adjectival. Movement of the lexical category to the left periphery results, in many cases, in its preceding material which it does not precede in the absence of such movement, notably inflectional material.If correct, the proposed isomorphism hypothesis has consequences for the analysis of the phenomena involved in that it allows us to transfer insights from one domain to another. In particular, it supports an analysis of the adjectival inflection alternation in terms of adjective movement; and an analysis of V2 as involving two merger steps.

“…Until the age of 5, SwG-acquiring children overgeneralise the availability of embedded V2, grasping that this option is available in complementiserless and, subject to interpretive restrictions, also dass-introduced bridgeverb structures, and wh-introduced clauses like those in (5) but failing to appreciate that overt complementiser-containing structures and wh-introduced clauses like those in (6) are not compatible with embedded V2/V-to-C raising (see i.a. Krifka 2001;Freywald 2008, Freywald 2014 for discussion of the circumstances under which dass +V2 and V2 in embedded wh-interrogatives is possible): 5 . and then has.it play.PART that the horse goes to.the magician 'And then they made/acted out that the horse goes to the magician.…”

“…One way of marking a subordinate clause is the use of a subordinating conjunction with the clause; the other centers on the placement of the finite verb at the end of a given clause; these are usually combined (Imo (2011: 166)). However, in reference to Freywald (2008), Imo (2011: 167) goes on to state that "it is not uncommon to use the subordinating conjunction dass ('that') together with a verb-second main clause in spoken German." The following are such examples, in which the verbs in dass-clauses are underlined by the present author.…”
