Summary:
"The study investigates the structure of declarative and interrogative sentence types in German that are consistent with their prototypical usage, yet at the same time, include the (a)symmetrical distribution of [±wh] phrases in the left sentence periphery of verb-second and verb-last sentences. The study focuses on the forward placement of the finitum and the topicalization of non-relative [-wh] phrases for the derivation of sentence-type meaning."--Publisher's website
