VERB ORDER AND HEAD MOVEMENT

This paper will focus on the treatment of so-called verb movement phenomena within non-transformational approaches to grammar, namely Categorial Grammar (CG) and Head Driven Phrase Structure Grammar (HPSG). We will discuss a number of recent proposals put forward by categorial grammarians, including one of the approaches taken within the LILOG project, which is a version of Categorial Unification Grammar (CUG). Subsequently, we will present a proposal for the treatment of finite verb positions in German within the framework of HPSG, which represents a further development of the original LILOG grammar and which can also be viewed as an extension to the theory of HPSG in general.
