TY - THES A1 - Trutkowski, Ewa T1 - Topic Drop and Null Subjects in German T2 - Linguistics & Philosophy ; 6 N2 - This study presents new insights into null subjects, topic drop and the interpretation of topic-dropped elements. Besides providing an empirical data survey, it offers explanations to well-known problems, e.g. syncretisms in the context of null-subject licensing or the marginality of dropping an element which carries oblique case. The book constitutes a valuable source for both empirically and theoretically interested (generative) linguists. Y1 - 2016 SN - 978-3-11-044413-1 PB - de Gruyter CY - Berlin ER -
