2024 On the threefold typology of Scheinsubjekte: From Karl Brugmann to Cimbrian syntax The Evolution of Expletives: Theoretical and diachronic perspectives, Fuß, Eric and Benjamin L. Sluckin (eds.), pp. 158–191 | Article
The first aim of our contribution is to revisit Brugmann’s (1917) tripartition of expletive subjects from the perspective of modern parametric theory, particularly with regard to the parametric values of [±Verb Second] (henceforth V2) and [±Null Subject] (henceforth NS).
