A Festschrift for Dieter Wunderlich. Edited by Ingrid Kaufmann and Barbara Stiebels.

This volume is dedicated to Dieter Wunderlich on the occasion of his 65th birthday. The fifteen papers included in this book are concerned with various aspects of grammar that Dieter Wunderlich has been interested in during his academic life. Couched in a variety of frameworks that represent the current state of the art of theoretical linguistics, among which Optimality Theory plays a prominent role, the papers constitute contributions to the phonology-morphology interface, the role of categorial specification in conversion and nominalization, the analysis and mental representation of German inflection, economy factors in inflection, the typology of pronouns and anaphors, lexical and structural case and the role of the former for the notion of subjects, Finite State Optimality Theory, the representation of causation, the classification of German participles, and the German perfect and its interaction with adverbials. 448 Seiten mit 8 Abb., broschiert (Studia grammatica; Band 53/Akademie Verlag 2002) leichte Lagerspuren/minor shelfwear
