Conjuncts-as-complements: A lexical approach to SGF coordination in German

In this paper, I shall discuss a peculiar coordination construction in German, where the shared subject of two conjuncts is not found peripheral, but contained within first conjunct. Following Höhle (1983), called “Subject Gaps Finite/Fronted” clauses (SGF). previous accounts, both symmetric approaches (Frank, 2002; Kathol, 1999), as well asymmetric adjunction (Büring & Hartmann, 1998). The analysis propose will treat semantically, yet assume head complement structure that combines licensing conjunct with an incomplete (=slashed) coordinate complement. show how addresses ATB condition, permits straightforward gap, and provides better control over second conjunct, thereby improving adjunct analysis.
