We investigate how corpus frequencies reflect the relative markedness of free relative and correlative constructions, the relative markedness of different case conflict configurations, and the relative markedness of different conflict resolution strategies. Section 1 introduces the conception of markedness as used in Optimality Theory. Section 2 introduces the facts about German free relative clauses, and section 3 presents the results of the corpus study. By and large, markedness and frequency go hand in hand. However, configurations at the highest end of the markedness scale rarely show up in corpus data, and for the configuration at the lowest end we found an unexpected outcome: the more marked structure is preferred.}, language = {en} } @article{Vogel2004, author = {Vogel, Ralf}, title = {Dialectal variation in German 3-verb clusters}, series = {Linguistics in Potsdam}, volume = {22}, journal = {Linguistics in Potsdam}, publisher = {Universit{\"a}tsverlag Potsdam}, address = {Potsdam}, issn = {1864-1857}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus-32516}, pages = {83 -- 118}, year = {2004}, abstract = {Content: 1 The Typology 1.1 Object Placement 2 Treatment of StG in terms of LF Movement - with and without Head Movement 3 An OT-solution in terms of linearisation ('LF-to-PF-Mapping') 3.1 The trigger for additional orders: Focus 3.2 Competitions 3.3 Summary 4 RP 4.1 LF Movement - with and without Head Movement 4.2 The OT-account for RP 4.3 Competitions 5 Summary}, language = {en} } @book{FanselowFerySchlesewskyetal.2006, author = {Fanselow, Gisbert and F{\´e}ry, Caroline and Schlesewsky, Matthias and Vogel, Ralf}, title = {Gradience in grammar : generative perspectives}, publisher = {Oxford University Press}, address = {Oxford, New York}, isbn = {0-19-927479-7}, pages = {416 S.}, year = {2006}, language = {en} } @article{VogelFrisch2003, author = {Vogel, Ralf and Frisch, Stefan}, title = {The resolution of case conflicts}, series = {Linguistics in Potsdam}, volume = {21}, journal = {Linguistics in Potsdam}, publisher = {Universit{\"a}tsverlag Potsdam}, address = {Potsdam}, issn = {1616-7392}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus-32466}, pages = {91 -- 103}, year = {2003}, abstract = {This paper reports the results of a pilot study on the resolution of case conflicts in German free relative constructions.

The notion of markedness, central in Optimality Theory, is not fully compatible with the idea of synactic economy. Even more so, seemingly obvious cases of blocking by structural economy do not seem to result from grammar proper, but reflect (economical) aspects of language use.}, language = {en} } @article{Vogel2002, author = {Vogel, Ralf}, title = {Yet another Theta-System}, issn = {0301-4428}, year = {2002}, language = {en} }
