| dc.description | The aim of this study is to give a unified account of a range of impersonal constructions in several Germanic languages (with emphasis on German) within the Minimalist framework. Hence the aim is actually twofold. On the one hand, I will revisit the analyses of Transitive Expletive Constructions (TECs), other thetic constructions, impersonal passives, weather verbs and impersonal psych verbs in German, Dutch, Afrikaans, Yiddish, Icelandic, the Mainland Scandinavian languages and English.1 As this sample of languages, however, com-prises both Verb Second (V2) languages and non-V2 languages, VO- and OV-languages and languages with verb-movement and languages without, it is desirable to develop – among other things – a uniform clausal skeleton in which a large part of cross-linguistic variation is attributed to different kinds of move-ment (inspired by Kayne’s (1994) Universal Base Hypothesis), rather than having to cope with a directionality parameter, different ways of licensing arguments, etc. | en_US |
