TY - CHAP U1 - Buchbeitrag A1 - Speyer, Augustin T1 - Object order and the Thematic Hierarchy in older German T2 - Historical Corpora. Challenges and Perspectives N2 - The relative order of dative and accusative objects in older German is less free than it is today. The reason for this could be that speakers of the direct predecessor of Old High German organized the referents according to the Thematic Hierarchy. If one applies a Case Hierarchy Nom>Acc>Dat to this, the order Nom - Dat - Acc falls out. It becomes apparent that the status of the Thematic Hierarchy is not a factor governing underlying word order, but a factor inducing scrambling. Arguments from binding theory, whose validity is discussed, indicate that the underlying order is ‘accusative before dative’ T3 - Korpuslinguistik und interdisziplinäre Perspektiven auf Sprache | Corpus Linguistics and Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Language | CLIP - 5 KW - Korpus KW - Althochdeutsch KW - Dativ KW - Akkusativ Y1 - 2015 U6 - https://nbn-resolving.org/urn:nbn:de:bsz:mh39-125719 UN - https://nbn-resolving.org/urn:nbn:de:bsz:mh39-125719 SN - 978-3-8233-6922-6 SB - 978-3-8233-6922-6 SP - 101 EP - 124 PB - Narr CY - Tübingen ER -
