• Corpus data and experimental results as prosodic evidence / Denisa Lenertová and Stefan Sudhoff
• The retrieval and classification of negative polarity items using statistical profiles / Timm Lichte and Jan-Philipp Soehn
• Geographic distributions of linguistic variation reflect dynamics of differentiation / John Nerbonne and Wilbert Heeringa
• Focus and verb order in early new high german / Christopher D. Sapp

• Adverbs and sentence topics in processing English / Britta Stolterfoht, Lyn Frazier, and Charles Clifton, Jr.

The renewed focus on the evidential base of linguistics in general, but particularly on syntax, is in to a large degree dependent on technological developments: computers, electronic storage and transmission. These factors have enabled a revolution in the accessibility of digitally stored language, both in sampled and organized corpora and in its raw unsampled form on the internet. But this technology has also allowed a step-change in experimental methods readily available to linguists. The new arrival of such enormous quantities of data in greatly increased detail has made information accessible which could previously not even have been dreamed of. This volume is a selection of research reports from linguists who are making use of this new information and trying to integrate the new insights into their analyses and theoretical assumptions.

The articles in this volume deal with various phenomena which have been covered traditionally by the term scrambling. The analyses presented here refer to the most recent developments in generative grammar (the so-called Barriers-framework developed in Chomsky 1986). Some of the topics discussed are: the movement vs the base structure approach to scrambling, the correlation between the possibility of scrambling and certain infinitive structures, scrambling and ergativity, barriers and domains for scrambling.

Over the last decade, the notion of competition has come to play a major role in syntactic theory, particularly in minmalist and optimality-theoretic syntax. According to this view, a sentence can only be grammatical if it is "optimal" in a set of competing candidates with respect to a given evaluation metric-economy in the minimalist program. Focussing on the latter, the contributions in this book critically investigate the viability of competition in syntax.
