Scrambling ohne Informationsstruktur?: Prosodische, semantische und syntaktische Faktoren der deutschen Wortstellung

Analyses of word order in German often consider information structure as the most important syntactic factor.

Therefore, contrary to a long-held research tradition, this analysis rejects a syntactic representation of information structure.
