This study shows that Scandinavian object shift and so-called A-scrambling in the continental Germanic languages are the same, and aims at providing an account of the variation that we find with respect to this phenomenon by combining certain aspects of the Minimalist Program and Optimality Theory.

This final volume of Syntax of Dutch discusses the coordinators, coordinate structure in Dutch as well as the contraction and ellipsis phenomena found in such structures.
