| Abstract | In this paper, I address word order variation in root clauses in Middle Low German (MLG). This historical stage, neglected in previous formal research on word order, is remarkable in that it displays well-known properties of modern continental West-Germanic syntax, above all verb-second order in root clauses, but at the same time allows violations against this constraint. By using diagnostic evidence, I show that orders violating the verb-second rule are of two types: (i) clauses in which no verb fronting applies, and (ii) clauses in which the finite verb is moved to the left periphery but not to the second position, allowing more than one XP to precede it. The latter order is referred to as multiple XP-fronting and is the subject of detailed analysis. Given the fact that modern German also allows multiple XP-fronting under certain conditions that are compatible with the verb-second rule, I show that the properties of multiple XP-fronting in MLG are of a different kind. More importantly, fronted XPs in multiple XP-fronting constructions in MLG display robust ordering principles with respect to information structure, which supports an analysis in line with the cartographic approach to the structure of the left periphery put forward by Rizzi (1997). |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
